Tuition Policies

The SDSD school year consists of 32 classes.  For your convenience, your overall yearly tuition cost is divided into a 9-month payment plan of equal monthly installments.   Tuition is due on (or before) the 1st of every month regardless of holidays, vacations, absences, studio closures and/or illness.  Specific tuition payment schedule is included below.  There is no grace period.

Any accounts with an active balance after the 1st will incur a 10% late fee. Tuition not paid by the 6th of each month (or 6 days past the due date) will be charged to your card/account on file, including late fees.  No Exceptions. 

 

We accept payment in the form of cash, check (made out to SDSD), or card (via Parent Portal). At this time, we are no longer accepting PayPal, CashApp, or Venmo for tuition. Statements are only emailed if your account is delinquent. 

 

 Tuition payments are non-refundable and not transferable.  $35 Returned Check Fee.

Refunds/Early Withdrawal Policy 

No refunds will be given for pre-paid tuition.  In the unlikely event that a student needs to withdraw early, the student will need to drop the class via the Parent Portal. This must be completed to close the account and thus, prevent further billing.  If you do not drop the class via Parent Portal your account will continue to be charged each month (including late fees). A student’s absenteeism does not affect tuition payments.  Accounts will only be closed when officially dropped via the Parent Portal and will go into effect from the date received.
