Class Type Tuition

Flexible Tuition Payment Options

Flexible tuition payment options are now available!

In addition to paying quarterly tuition in full, we also offer our Niles families the option to divide the quarterly tuition into three equal installments, 28 days apart.*

*With this option a $2 processing fee will be added to each installment and any credits will be divided amongst the three payments. If applicable, the $35 New Family Fee will be applied to the first installment.
