Tuition & Fees

The above costs are subject to change by action of the Administration.  The School reserves the right to change regulations at any time without prior notice; it also reserves the right to change tuition and fees as deemed necessary.

Students who wish to attend the School must be aware that they should be able to cover both tuition  and related expenses including materials, housing costs, health insurance and travel. Tuition expenses listed below that indicate coverage for one year include the fall and spring semesters only.

ESTIMATED LIVING EXPENSES

The School does not have facilities to house students. Upon acceptance, students will receive information on housing opportunities in New York, including listings of temporary accommodations and help on searching for suitable living situations. The School is easily accessible by public transport from the outer boroughs and New Jersey. Rents in the outer boroughs (Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and The Bronx) and close areas of New Jersey, such as Jersey City and Hoboken, tend to be lower than in Manhattan. Less expensive situations can be found through sublets or by living with roommates. Students should plan to find proper accommodations prior to enrolling. A chart detailing estimated costs of living and expenses is below.

Estimated Supplies

Painting Major - $4,400

Please note that these estimates are for one semester; the School semester lasts for approximately four months.

HEALTH SERVICES & INFORMATION

Enrolled students must be aware that the School does not provide health insurance coverage. We strongly recommend that students enrolled in the School organize their own coverage, either via a parent/guardian or on an individual basis. There are many health insurance providers who offer individual insurance programs, and it is the responsibility of each student to fully research the benefits of each individual provider.

Class Cancellation Policy

Please note that all classes, including Marathons, are subject to minimum enrollment numbers. The School reserves the right to cancel any class for which there is insufficient enrollment and to withdraw or modify course offerings. If a course is withdrawn or cancelled by the School for any reason, students may transfer to another course or receive a full refund, in accordance with the School's refund schedule.
