2008 - 2009 Tuition Fees and Policies
**Academy Art Museum Members Receive a 10% discount on all tuition**
Tuition rates are based on a year’s attendance and incorporate all scheduled holidays. If you choose to make “Monthly” payments, they are simply the year’s tuition broken into installments and are not based on a specific number of classes per month. Students that miss classes due to illness, vacation, or single-day holidays (such as President’s Day) are welcome to attend a make-up class another day.
Tuition rates are based on the weekly number of class hours totaled for all students within the family that are enrolled. Adult class sessions, if offered, have separate tuition rates.
With the exception of “Unlimited Hours” of attendance, prepaid tuition for the year is discounted 10% if paid in full by the first week of classes. Please be aware that prepaid tuition is non-refundable except in cases of extreme illness, injury, or family emergency.
You may pay on whatever schedule best suits your budget, full amount, ½ yearly, quarterly, semi-monthly, or monthly. Payments are simply deducted from the total tuition amount until a zero balance is reached.
If paying monthly, tuition is due the first week of the month. A late fee of $5 will be applied to the amount due if payment is not received by the 15th of the month. Payment envelope books are available for your convenience. *Monthly billing statements are not sent out*.
Accepted payments: Cash (in a sealed enveloped marked with the student name), check payable to the Academy Art Museum, and Visa/Mastercard. Payments may be dropped in the lock box in the upstairs hallway at the Museum during class hours, or mailed to the director’s address, 1030 Carmichael Rd., Queenstown, MD 21658.
PreBallet tuition is based on nine months of attendance, September to May. “Upper Level” classes (Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Modern) are based on ten months of attendance, September to June.
