tuition & payment options

Rates reflect joining in September 2025 for September 2025-May 2026 participation.

PYC’s programs operate on a tuition-based model. While the cost of tuition represents a substantial investment, participants receive significant value in return through the various opportunities and experiences our program provides.

Before you look at tuition, please be sure you have familiarized yourself with what program your child is most likely to be placed in.

  • The simplest way to pay tuition is to make a one-time payment during your initial registration.

  • If selecting this option, you will set up a recurring credit card payment after you register. We will track your payments for you and turn off recurring payments after your balance has been fulfilled.

If you find that the price point is cost-prohibitive to your singer's participation, we encourage you to please reach out to our Administrative Staff for assistance. We will strive to never turn away a singer for financial reasons.
