TUITION

There will be an annual $50 non-refundable registration fee per student. ($30 registration fee for any additional siblings)

Tuition is a yearly rate for September to June and can be divided between two or four payments for your convenience based upon the number of classes enrolled. An authorized credit card must be on file for all registrations or post dated checks for each scheduled payment must be delivered to the office to confirm registration. If you would like to secure your registration using post dated checks in place of an authorized credit card, please contact the office via email at info@americantheaterdance.com or via phone at 516-248-6420 for help with registration.

In order to complete your registration, whether online or through the office, you must fill out the Payment Plan and Credit Card Authorization form! Your student will not be able to start class without this form on file! If you register online, the form will be attached to your checkout email. If you register through the office, the form as well as the student waiver will be provided to you.

There are 3 different payment options:

Payment Plan Option

• If you are enrolled in 1 or 2 classes per week, you have the option to pay tuition in two equal installments. The first payment is due upon registration and the second is due November 1.

• If you are enrolled in 3 or more classes per week, you have the option to pay tuition in four equal installments. The first payment is due upon registration, the second is due November 1, the third is due December 1, and the fourth is due January 1.

• To enroll in this payment plan option, you must sign our student waiver and autopay authorization form and provide a valid credit card for us to keep on file. If you are late in a payment, your credit card will be automatically charged. If you are late on two payments, you will be automatically enrolled in our Automatic Debit Plan.
