Tuition Costs / Registration

For regular session students, an annual non-refundable registration fee per student is due at the time of enrollment. 

Registration Cost -  $25.00 per enrolled student.

Note: All family accounts must be current in order to register for a new session of classes.

Regular Tuition

With the exception of summer classes or special sessions, enrollment in a class is a commitment for the full term, from September to June. The number of classes may vary per month, however, tuition is based on an annual rate and payment for the term is conveniently divided into 9 equal monthly payments from September through May. 

Monthly tuition is posted on the first of each month and due by the 1st of each month. Tuition is not prorated for absences, bad weather days or holidays.

Payment Options

TUITION IS DUE THE 1st OF EACH MONTH (September - May)

Please Note - Statement reminders are only emailed to delinquent accounts (we know you don't need any unnecessary email!)

Payments accepted through the portal are Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Checking.

1) You ( or we) will automatically set up your account to auto draw the 1st of every month. Once the payment has been processed, the system will generate an email receipt.

2) Checks should be mailed to 50 San Remo Drive, South Burlington, VT 05403. You may also leave payment in the lock box at the front desk. Please mail your payments early enough so that they are at the office before the due date on the fifth of each month to avoid any late fees

Responsible Party

We require that each account have a primary Billing Contact defined at the time of registration. Our online system will allow you to define who that billing contact is. You agree that, any other payment arrangements made either with or outside of Spotlight notwithstanding, the billing contact is ultimately responsible for any outstanding balance owed Spotlight. If there is an existing Family Court order specifying financial responsibility for classes, Spotlight will of course honor it.

Delinquent Accounts / Fees

We know that life sometimes takes unexpected turns. If circumstances make satisfying your financial obligations to Spotlight difficult PLEASE contact us. We often are able to help by establishing payment plans, investigate temporary scholarship opportunities etc. We would like to work together to help your student continue at Spotlight.

• A $15 late fee will be added to all tuition installment payments not paid by the 10th of each month.

• Returned checks result in a $30.00 bank service fee.

• Failed e-check transactions result in a $5.00 merchant service fee.

Refunds

All Spotlight classes are non-refundable.

Deposits for summer camps are non-refundable. We must be notified two weeks in advance of canceling in order to avoid paying the remaining balance.

Accounts that are 45 days in arrears will result in the student(s) being dropped from class rosters. Class spots may be given to the next child on the waiting list. If your student has been removed from class roster's due to payment arrears please do not bring them to class unless you are prepared to reconcile the account immediately. Reconciled accounts will have an opportunity to re-enroll in classes; however the desire to do so does not guarantee that the same class/schedule will be available. A re-enrollment fee of $20.00 will apply.

Accounts and/or any payment plans must be current NO LATER THAN MAY 15th for students to participate in the end of year Showcase. There are no exceptions to this policy. 

Accounts that become more than 60 days overdue will be referred to a consumer collections agency.

Costumes will not be distributed to if there is an outstanding balance on the account.
