TUITION
SDDA charges tuition based on enrollment for the entire school-year season. It is divided into 9 monthly payments. For this reason, some months have 5 weeks of classes, and some will have two or three weeks. The structure of our tuition is based on the hours of a student's weekly enrollment, as shown in the Tuition Chart on this page.
Tuition is posted and payable on the first day of each month.
Families enrolling in AutoPay save $5 per month. Tuition is considered late after the 5th of the month and will be assessed a $10 late fee. Enter promo code "autopaydiscount" during checkout to claim this discount*.
