Tuition information

CHESSIE classes run from September through mid-May. It is the intent that a student will be in class for the entire school year and it should be the exception where a child is dropped from class mid-year.
Tuition is a total amount per year. Depending on the cost per month x 9 months that CHESSIE meets = total cost for the class.
We permit families to pay in monthly installments to ease finances. Tuition can also be paid by the semester or for the year. Since tuition is a total amount per year, the monthly cost is the same each month regardless of the number of class days there are that month. ie tuition is the same for a 2 class month as it is for a 5 class month.

Tuition obligation if a child is dropped from class follows: August 1 --September 30 is the grace period to drop a class. Dropping a class during this period does not result in tuition obligation for the remaining months of the school year. September‘s tuition is due at the orientation meeting 10:30-12:00 on August 29th.

October 1 --November 30: Dropping a class during these months incurs a tuition obligation of 20% of the remainder of the tuition for the entire school year. December 1 --January 30: Dropping a class during these

months incurs a tuition obligation of 50% of the remainder of the tuition for the entire school year.

February 1 --May 30: Dropping a class during these months necessitates paying 100% of the remainder of the tuition for the entire school year.
