2025 – 2026 Tuition & Fees

Tuition is an annual fee that may be paid in full upon registration. ADA discounts 10% of tuition

when paid in full by June 24th. To make our services affordable for families, we offer 10 equal

payment installments from August 1st-May 1st.

Our tuition remains the same regardless of absences, weather, holidays, or if we are forced to

close due to a pandemic. In this case, our lessons will be done on Zoom until we are allowed to

return. ADA runs tuition payments on the 1st of every month. NO REFUNDS or deductions are

given if a child misses for any reason. We will follow St. Tammany public schools holiday

schedule.

Automated Payments

Payments will be processed on the first of every month. Automated payments will be made from

your credit or debit card that you used on your online payment information. Any credit card that

is declined will be run through again on the following day. If the card is declined a second time,

there will be a $35 fee. https://app.thestudiodirector.com/applausedanceacademy/login.sd
