Tuition
Tuition can be paid monthly, by semester, or yearly. We will send a tuition invoice through Square to be paid electronically. This can be scheduled for automatic payments each month.
​
If you would like to try out our program without paying for a full month at a time, you are welcome to come for a "Daily Drop In."

We have just instituted a new Scholarship/Tuition Assistance program. Check out the link below for more information!

Calendar
Our calendar is loosely based off the Knox County School Calendar. We will have class 10 months out of the year with June and July off. We will offer Summer camps during those months where you can pick and choose the weeks you attend. We will have breaks throughout the year for Fall Break, Thanksgiving, Winter Break, Spring Break and more. Because we want the children to experience the full range of seasons and weather types, we will not always call off for bad weather. We will update parents on inclement weather days.
End of the Year Art Show
We will be hosting an Art Show celebrating all of the students who have/ will be attending through the end of Spring Semester. We create unique hanging displays celebrating their achievements throughout the school year. They will be hanging throughout our school site for us to find! We will release dates closer to the time of the event. This will be a pot luck style event, so feel free to bring something to share. Need ideas, just ask!
