Schedule and Tuition

Even though we permit monthly tuition payments and our families pay by the month, your tuition rates are based on a yearly ( 12 month) tuition scale which includes Sterling being closed certain holidays of the year. Sterling will follow, in most cases, the San Jose Unified School District schedule (see our calendar page). Regardless of the length of the month, tuition remains the same. Unlike many other studios, we don’t charge for the “fifth” class in any given month and because of this there are a few days each month, on a rotating basis, that classes are free! We do not have a minimum class size as many studios do and we have a generous make-up policy which includes make-ups for any reason as long as classes are available. Please keep in mind that during the course of the year, the same tuition each month not only allows Sterling to offer a substantial discount, but also a lot of options and conveniences and extra classes you otherwise wouldn’t have. With our generous make-up policy everyone gets their fair share of classes. We do not allow pro-rating of tuition unless we cancel a regularly scheduled class and no make-ups are available.
