Withdrawal Process

To voluntarily withdraw your child from the 3rd Base Program you must submit a written notice at least two weeks in advance of the last day of service. Failure to provide a two week written notice will result in the full amount of tuition being due. In the event that the tuition has been paid in full and proper notification is received, a partial refund will be issued.

Tuition & Payments

After-School Tuition Explanation

For the convenience of our families we utilize a stable monthly tuition rate to assist with budgeting. Once the tuition rate is established for the school year the amount is broken down into 10 equal payments. This allows the tuition to not fluctuate between months and enables our families to spread the cost of the tuition evenly throughout the school year. At this time we do not offer a daily or weekly tuition rate. 

If you have any questions regarding the tuition structure please contact the 3rd Base Program office.
