Registration,Tuition, Costume Fees
Registration Fee: A non-refundable fee of $30.oo per student or $35.00 per family is charged annually for each student enrolled.

Tuition:  1 hr class/$48 per month
*There are discounts for multiple classes and siblings.

Tuition for APA classes is an annual fee, which is paid in 9 monthly installments.  Tuition is based on the number of classes for the entire school year- not the number of classes per month.  The monthly fee is based on the total hours of weekly study for each student.  Tuition is due by the first of each month.  All tuition checks should be made payable to APA-Academy of Performing Arts. Please include your child’s name and what the payment is for in the memo section of your check.  Please submit your payment along with the corresponding payment coupon.  Tuition checks can be placed in the studio drop box or mailed to the studio address.  APA is now accepting credit cards. For your convenience tuition payments can be made at the front desk with a Visa or Master card. If paying with cash, please make your payment at the front desk and ask for a receipt. We also ask that you please keep your account current.  Your child will not receive lessons if your account is 60 days past due.  There is a $10 late fee for payments received after the tenth of the month...no exceptions! If for any reason your child must withdraw please notify the front office as soon as possible. You will be responsible for a full months tuition if proper notice is not given by the tenth of the month. In addition, full monthly tuition will be charged to each student’s account regardless of the number of absences during that month.

Spring Costume/Performance Fees:  These fees cover the costs of the student’s appearance in the annual Spring Production.  The Spring Production costume fee will be due in October/November. Our costumes come altered, steamed and with all accessories including a new pair of tights for the show. (Approximate costs- younger students $65-$75; older students $75-$85)  Costumes will be ordered during the Christmas break and must be paid in full before the holidays.  The Spring Performance fee will be due in February/March and will help offset the cost of running the show, including theater rental, lighting, stage technicians, backdrops, decorations, insurance, etc. This fee will allow for 2 complimentary tickets. These fees are based on the number of students and cost of the show and will be set in the Spring. It will be divided into two payments for your convenience.  Please refer to your coupon booklet or our website for due dates.
