TUITION PAYMENT

As most of you know we have had some major issues with our transition to our new studio software. Unfortunately the problems continue and we will be transitioning out of the new software and back to the old software. As that happens we will not be able to take credit card payments until the transition is complete. I am hoping to have that done by the end of September. We will not be applying late charges to August or September past due accounts to accomidate this. Thank you for your patience, we apologize for the inconvenience, we are working hard to get our payment systems up and running.
