How tuition works

Our figures are on the enrollment page and we go over them with you at the first class. Here is how each part works.

  • What sets tuition

    Tuition depends on the student's age group, how many classes a week they attend and which program they are in. The figures are on the enrollment page, and we go over them with you at the first class.

    • Age group

    • Classes a week

    • Kids', teen or adult program

  • Holding a place

    A place in a class is held once you finish enrolling. When a class is full we keep a waiting list and call families in order when a place opens. Kids' classes have up to 12 students, teen and adult classes up to 16.

  • Billing

    Tuition is billed monthly by autopay through our parent portal. The next billing date shows on the enrollment page, and we send a reminder before it changes.

  • Siblings

    A second student in the same family is handled differently from the first. We explain how at the first class, because it depends on who trains and when.

  • Withdrawing

    Enrollment runs month to month. To stop, tell us in writing at least 30 days ahead; the month in progress is billed as usual. You can pause for illness, travel or a busy season: ask us how.

    • Month to month

    • Written notice, 30 days ahead

    • Pauses by arrangement

  • Missed classes and make-ups

    A missed class can be made up in another class for the same age group and belt level during the same session. Tell the front desk ahead and we'll find one that fits. Make-ups don't carry into the next session.

  • Uniforms, costumes and other costs

    Beyond tuition, a few costs exist, and each is for something specific. The amounts are on the enrollment page.

    • A uniform and first belt, when you join

    • Each belt test

    • Sparring gear, for teens and adults

    • Seminars and tournaments, only if you choose to go
