If our Simply program is right for your family, please use the form below to register your child.

Use a separate registration form and pay a separate Deposit for each child.

An initial non-refundable deposit for each class is required at the time of registration. This policy aims to reduce last-minute dropouts and no-shows that occur after waitlisted students have made other commitments and to aid in funding a larger portion of supplies and materials before classes begin. The deposit will be deducted from the total tuition price of each class.

  • STEAM classes require a $150 Deposit

  • All-Day Bundles will require a $150 deposit each

  • 2.5-hr Classes require a $100 Deposit each

  • 2-hour classes require a $75 deposit each

  • 1-hour classes require a $50 deposit each

Monthly payments may be made to pay the remainder of the balance. Monthly invoices/reminders are available for those who prefer them. Remaining balances will be due in full by April 15, 2026.  A 10% off multiday or sibling discount are available for each child after the first full-price tuition. If you refer a friend and they register, you will receive $10 off your child's tuition.

After completing this form, you will be prompted to pay your deposit fee to complete registration.

Thank you!
