Class Tuition Rates and School Fees 2025-26

All costs for participating in our annual school performances are covered by us, including costumes and rehearsals.

What has changed for 2025-26?

• Summer intensive rates have been reduced by 10% to enable more students to attend.
• School year weekly tuition rates have increased slightly, at only 1-3% for most families.
• Merchant surcharges of 2.4% will apply to all credit card payments from Sep 1st.
• GST will be listed separately from tuition in account statements from Sep 1st.  This does not increase tuition.  It is simply an accounting change.

How is Tuition Calculated?

Tuition is calculated on a weekly basis rather than an annual one, ensuring that families only pay for actual class time, and never for holiday closures.

While this removes the convenience of equal monthly payments, it provides a more accurate and fair tuition for every family through the year.

• Students enrolled on Mondays have fewer classes in the year and so pay a lower tuition.
• Months with holiday closures are charged only for the weeks with classes. 
• Students are not charged tuition during Nutcracker Production Week unless their class is in session.

How are customers’ rights protected?

• All fees and costs must be presented in advance and in detail. 
• You must know and agree to exactly what you are paying for, and its final cost, before you can be required to pay.  This is especially relevant for goods and services being provided in the future, or with deposits.
• If in doubt, call Consumer Protection BC for advice and advocacy.  They are here to help.

Be sure to know your rights as a consumer!
