2022-2023 DATES
Classes will meet weekly September - May (29 classes over the course of the school year) and will follow the APS school calendar. Classes will start after Labor Day.
We have set the class calendar for 29 classes but only charged tuition for 28 classes so if a class has to be canceled due to bad weather or teacher illness we will not need to schedule a make-up lesson.
BOLTON DRAMA & DANCE TUITION
For installment options the total cost can be evenly split into installments for convenience & affordability. All accounts must be paid in full by April 1st. For monthly installments you will pay the same whether your class meets 3, 4, or 5 times that month because you are not paying for those specific weeks in the month, but rather a straight installment plan for the total year. Enrollment is not month-to-month. If selecting an installment option families are committing to paying the full amount for the program (1 semester for Jr Drama Club, Jr Dance Club, or Hip Hop Club, or the full year for Drama Club), simply split up into smaller monthly or semester payments.
