2025-2026 Tuition and Fees
RATES
Different tuition rates are listed for various classes. Unless specified, all rates are monthly.
A monthly fee is equivalent to 1/10 of annual tuition and remains the same flat monthly fee whether there are 3, 4, or 5 lessons per month according to the school calendar.
Usually, we change our rates following CPI.
ASSESSMENT LESSONS
Group assessment lessons are free; if one class is not a good fit, you can try a different class, but it will be charged at the regular rate.
At Private/Semi-Private Assessment lessons we’ll evaluate your child’s needs, abilities, and level to ensure the best placement for his or her progress and development. Private and Semi-Private lessons will be prepaid.
GROUP vs. PRIVATE Lessons
While we do our best to accommodate parents’ preferences, the teacher's approval is required for placement in a group; no exceptions.
