Tuition
NCMACC operates on a prepaid tuition system, meaning tuition must be paid before lessons start.
The following two methods are acceptable:
- Advanced: Tuition for multiple lessons (for example, five or ten lessons) can be paid upfront in a lump sum. This is our preferred method.
- Per-lesson basis: We gladly work with students who prefer to pay ahead of each lesson.
Payments must be made in either cash or check. We are currently unable to accept other forms of payment, including credit and debit cards.
An initial tuition payment is due at the time of enrollment to reserve a student's place on the schedule.
Cancellation Policy
In the event of illness or sudden emergency, students are granted up to two (2) make-up lessons per semester with 24 business hours' advance notice to the NCMACC office.
Late Fees
A late fee of $20 will be added to all invoices that remain unpaid ten days after the invoice date.
Holidays
Classes will not occur on the following holidays:
- Labor Day (September 1, 2025)
- Thanksgiving (November 26-29, 2025)
- Winter Break (December 21, 2025 - January 1, 2026)
Withdrawal Policy
A minimum of thirty days notice, in email written to [email protected], is required for withdrawal from lessons.
Tuition for the final thirty days of lessons is subject to the tuition policy noted above, regardless of attendance.
Code of Conduct
Expectation of Parental Supervision
Parental supervision is required before and after each lesson for all students. NCMACC does not assume responsibility for unattended children.
Respect
Please respect property and others in the common area. Keep noise to a minimum, and return all toys and books to their designated spaces.
