The 2024-2025 school year will be the first year we are offering Tuition Assistance, this is a result of the change in our scholarship allocation from Quality First. Tuition Assistance covers a percentage of your tuition based on your income level and the class your student is enrolled in. All of our classes are eligible to receive Tuition Assistance. To qualify, you must be eligible for a Quality First scholarship.
