Enrolment is by term. Your total is worked out from the day your child starts to the end of that term, so you only pay for the classes they will actually attend. All prices are subject to 13% HST.
How Payment Works
Enrolment is by term, so you are never asked to commit to a whole year up front.
Pick a term
Fall: September 1 – January 31 · Spring: February 1 – June 30
Pay only for the classes you get
Your total is worked out from the day your child starts to the end of that term. Join in October and you pay for October to January, not for classes that have already happened.
Choose how to pay
Spread the term over four monthly payments, split it in two, or pay it up front and save 5%.
Want to try a single class first? $30 + HST, no commitment. Art supplies are $185 + HST once a year, or half if your child starts in the Spring term. Tell us the day that suits you and we will send your exact amount before you commit to anything.
