Do you allow drop-ins on holidays and vacations?

If your are enrolled in our After-school Program, holiday and vacation days are included in your standard tuition.

My contact information has changed. How do I submit changes to ATAC?

Login to your online account. Edit your most current registration form and we will receive notice and update your file.
 


Do you offer family discounts?

Yes. During School Year 2008-2009 the family discount is $40 off monthly tuition for each child in the same family. Because middle school tuition is already reduced, middle school siblings do not qualify for the family discount.
