Academic Year Tuition Info

CAPA Tuition for academic year classes (36 weeks total)

For the academic year (Fall/Winter/Spring), CAPA divides the annual tuition for our 36 weeks of classes during the school year into ten equal monthly payments, which we bill to your account on or about the 9th of every month (August through May) to the credit card on file. Some months have more classes than others, but regardless of the month, you only pay for 36 weeks of actual classes in ten equal monthly installments.

CAPA tuition is calculated on an hourly basis based on how many class hours per week for which your family is registered.  Hourly class rates go down the more classes you take!

See the bottom of this page for a detailed schedule of monthly fees by total class hours.

When you register at CAPA, students typically register for the entire academic year with their diligent work culminating in the June Show. We do have the opportunity for new students to register mid-year in late December or January who will also participate in the June Show.

FAMILY DISCOUNT: If more than one student is enrolled in a family, the total hours danced per week are used to compute your tuition fees, resulting in a family discount since the hourly rates decrease as more hours are danced!

Once your class registration has been reviewed and approved by CAPA management, your credit card will be charged tuition for the first month, taking into account a volume discount if you or your family are registered for more than 6 class hours per week.

DROPPING CLASSES: Should you wish to drop a class* during the year, you simply need to give us 30 days notice in writing, after which charges for the dropped class will not be made.  

MISSED AND MAKE-UP CLASSES: We do not offer refunds for missed classes. However, a student can take make-up classes within a month of the missed classes. Make-ups can be taken at their current technique level, or at one level up or one level down.  

Make-ups are not available for missed ensemble, ballet company, or production classes. If a student takes a technique class as a make-up, she/he needs to tell the teacher that it is a make-up, and the student will be noted in the make-up records.

NO REFUNDS are allowed for missed, excused or dropped classes.

* Additions to your registration can be made online via the CAPA portal, however you must email us to request to transfer or drop a class.
