Payment for recurring students is due by the 20th of each month in order to ensure that their space in class is reserved for the upcoming month (ex. Payment due on Feb 20th secures your child's space for March classes). An email will be sent on the 15th of each month as a reminder that payment is due for the upcoming month if your student will be continuing class.
