• How does Aspire calculate tuition?

  • ​Tuition is calculated by the number of hours each dancer is registered for per week at the rates listed below.  It is processed through our Family Portal which can be accessed at the top right of the screen or through our Registration page. For families with multiple students enrolled, tuition will be calculated based on the combined hours of the family's students.

  • Creative Movement and Pre-ballet tuition is calculated per class at the rates below.

  • Fall and Spring Semester are both 19 weeks. 20% of full Semester tuition will be due each month of the Semester. For Fall Semester: September, October, November, December, January. For Spring Semester: February, March, April, May, June. For students who enroll after the start of the semester, tuition will be prorated according to the number of remaining weeks in the semester. 

​

• When is tuition due? ​

  • Tuition will be posted monthly on the 1st of the month or the preceding business day and is due by the 15th of the month. A $10 late fee will be applied to any tuition not paid by the 17th of the month. 

  • Families who wish to pay in full for the semester may also do so by October 5th and February 5th. 

  • Auto-pay: Families may also choose to enroll in auto-pay in their Family Portal account. Auto-pay tuition accounts will be automatically charged tuition on the 5th of the month.​

  • For Fall Semester:

    • Prior to August 17th, 50% of September's tuitions is due upon registration, and the remaining 50% of September tuition will be charged as usual in September. 

    • Starting August 18th, September tuition is due in full at registration. ​

    • After the start of fall semester, the first month of tuition is due open enrollment. 

​

• Is there a registration fee?

  • There is a $25 registration fee for Semester registrations. For families registering multiple students, your registration fee will be $30 total. This non-refundable fee is due at registration and is due only once per Summer Session and per School Year.

​

• Make-up classes?

  • If your student misses a class, you may schedule a make-up class for any equivalent level class by emailing the office. Make-up classes must be scheduled for the same semester as the class that was missed. ​

​

• What else should I know?

  • All tuition is non-refundable; however, exceptions are made with a doctor’s note stating the medical reason necessary for withdrawal or if a class is cancelled due to low enrollment and a substitution is not available.

  • Students will be auto-enrolled in their classes for the next semester during a school year. If you wish to change your student's enrollment, you must notify us in writing by the last day of the previous month to avoid being charged for classes you wish to drop or change. 

  • All classes and Summer Programs are subject to minimum and maximum enrollment.
