REGISTRATION & TUITION POLICIES

• 45 Minute/1 Hour Classes: Monthly for $113.50, or Full Semester for $567
• 1.5 Hour Classes: Monthly for $170, or the Full Semester for $850
• Some classes, including private lessons and visual arts, are billed at different rates which are noted in the class descriptions.
• If enrolling after the the semester begins, tuition will be pro-rated accordingly.

Spring tuition has increased as the semester is 6 weeks longer than the fall, but the per class cost remains the same.

We do not charge additional fees for registration, performances, costumes, or credit card fees, as they have been worked into the tuition. The only additional costs are class uniforms (if applicable), performance tickets, and late payment fees.

We do not prorate monthly tuition for holidays or breaks, as this has been factored into the pricing schedule. There are no refunds for missed classes. Students may make-up missed classes by attending another Seaside class for which they are eligible.

Rarely, an individual class session may need to be canceled due to a holiday, illness, or other emergency. These classes will be made up during designated Make-Up Class Weeks, April 2-8, and June 4-10, when we would otherwise not have class.

Come take a FREE trial class at Seaside Arts Center! We want you and your children to find the perfect class(es), and love your experience here. So come try out a class, meet our instructors, and see what Seaside is all about! Please register in advance for your free trial class via the link below. (You will not be charged until after your trial class if you would like to continue.)

 We are happy to offer the following tuition discounts, which cannot be combined:  

• 15% off for registration and PAYMENT IN FULL by December 15, 2022
• 10% off enrollment in additional classes (after paying full rate for the 1st class)
• 10% off enrollment for each additional child in the family

All families must enroll their students through the Parent Portal. During this process, families will select whether they would like to pay the semester’s tuition in full at registration, or via automatic monthly credit card payments. If not paying in full, the first month’s tuition will be charged upon registration to secure the student(s)’ spot(s), and the additional payments will be processed on or around February 5, March 5, April 5, and May 5.

Please note, the Parent Portal defaults to showing the monthly fees, without showing any discounts for up-front payment in full. Discounts will be applied after your enrollment is submitted based on your payment selections.

We also accept cash, check (made out to Seaside Arts Center), Venmo, or Paypal. If a family would like to pay via one of these methods, payment must be received by the 1st of the month, or their credit card will be charged on or around the 5th. Payments not received by the 5th will incur an additional $40 late fee.

 We view participation in all performances/showcases as critical to our students’ growth and ability to have a full arts experience, therefore performance and costume fees have already been worked into the semester’s tuition and participation is mandatory. Please mark your calendar for our Spring Showcase DATES TBD. The only exception to this is for our Visual Arts students, who are required to attend the Saturday show only, where a gallery of their work will be on display. 

 In enrolling in a Seaside class you are committing to the full semester of classes and tuition, even if you opt for the monthly payment plan. However, we want each student to LOVE their selected class(es). If a class is not working out due to scheduling conflict, interest, etc., we will make every effort to transfer your child’s enrollment to a class that is a better fit. However, if an alternate class cannot be found and a student or family must withdraw from Seaside Arts Center, we require 30 days written notice prior to the withdrawal date. Tuition for the last month of classes will be prorated based on the withdrawal date.
