Tuition for company members is based on the costs of operating the school during an entire 12-month school year; the costs are spread out over a period of five months each during the fall and spring semesters, and 2 months during the summer semester.

Tuition is charged for an unlimited number of technique classes throughout each semester. Most company members take more than 30 hours of classes per month based on the conservatory program requirements so the per class cost is of significant value.
Monthly payment plans are available for tuition.
