Tuition and Fees

In addition to the tuition listed by each class, each student will be charged a $25 per semester non-refundable Registration Fee, which must be paid before attendance at the first class. Tuition must be paid upon registration unless scholarship arrangements. are made or payment plans have been established. Call for details.

Withdrawals

Students withdrawing from a camp before the camp begins will receive a full tuition refund (excluding the non-refundable $25 registration fee). Students remaining on the roll after the first day of camp in which they are enrolled will be responsible for the camp’s full tuition. It is the responsibility of the parent, not the instructor, to contact the Director of Education if a student wishes to withdraw from a camp.

Financial Aid

Need-based scholarships are available each semester. If you are interested in receiving a financial aid scholarship form, please email [email protected] prior to enrollment. Financial Aid is not applicable to Private Instruction for Acting or Voice.

Placement

Acceptance into all Production Classes and the Academy Professional Artist Training track is by audition only. Our goal is to give each student the opportunity to excel, and therefore, it is important for each student to have the training, experience and maturity necessary to achieve success. We will evaluate each student and recommend the appropriate classes, productions and roles based on what will best suit each student’s needs and abilities.

Forced Closure and Covid Quarantine

In the event that our live camps are forced to quarantine and no longer be in person, we will move to an online format. If we are forced to cancel performances, ticket refunds will be issued. The Thelma Gaylord Academy reserved the right to make instructor changes should an online migration occur. No refunds will be provided should our in-person classes be migrated to an online format. If your student must miss camp because of a Covid exposure quarantine, we will arrange a Zoom meeting to provide access to the class(es) from home.
