Arts Conservatory Fee Information
Private lessons per semester for 2024–2025
- $1,345 for 30-minute lessons at school
- $1,825 for 45-minute lessons at school
- $2,280 or 1-hour lessons at school
- At-home lessons are sometimes available for a slightly higher fee.
The tuition covers 15 lessons per semester. There are extra weeks built into the semesters which are used for makeup lessons, if the teacher is ever absent. If there is no need for makeup lessons then some students will finish their semester earlier than others. Teachers keep track of and communicate the date of the last lesson. If there are fewer than 15 weeks in a semester due to holidays, then the tuition will be prorated. Fees are prorated for students who enroll after the semester has started, and also for students whose lessons fall on a frequent holiday, such as Monday or Friday. If a student enrolls after the first week of lessons/classes, but before January 21st, 2025, fees are prorated for the remainder of the semester.
