2025 Summer Session Tuition Information

June 2 – August 22

The summer session is 12 weeks.  MDOW will accept monthly payments, but families are financially responsible for the entire summer session tuition.  The first summer payment is due May 10th, the second payment is due June 10th, and the final payment is due July 10th. 

To determine your summer tuition in the chart below, count the number of sessions your child is registered to attend on a weekly basis.  One session would be one morning 9:00-12:00 session or one afternoon 12:30-3:30 session.  If your child attends Tuesday & Thursday morning – that is 2 sessions/week.  If your child attends Tuesday & Thursday all day, 9-3:30, that is 4 sessions/week. 

Tuition is billed monthly through brightwheel at the start of the month preceding the tuition period. Payments can be made via ACH debit from a checking account or credit card through brightwheel, with a 3% fee applied to credit card payments.

 If your child is absent or school is closed due to weather, tuition is still paid in full.
