"Block of Class" Tuition Option

I’ve recently had an opportunity to talk to several members and their families expressing their thoughts about monthly tuition and the times when they or their child miss classes due to illness, holiday closings, sports and vacation travel. Looking at the attendance cards, the vast majority of our members attend classes 5 to 7 times a month. With that in mind, I am adding a new tuition option for your membership here at Eastern Defensive Arts Academy. This new membership is much more valuable, flexible and accommodating to your personal attendance. This is just another option which may save you some money in the long run. You may absolutely stay with your current membership if it works for you.

The “Block of Class” membership allows you to purchase classes in 60, 100 and 300 class blocks. In essence, you are paying for the classes that you actually use. When you take time off for illness, work, vacations, or holidays you are not ‘paying’ for those inactive periods. Also, the block of classes that you purchase may be used by all the members of your family, in any and all of our programs!

Is the “Block of Class” option right for you?  Here is just one actual member profile that demonstrates how this option may benefit you. The name was changed to give the actual member some privacy...

1)  Junior Member Chris is currently on the 12 month term membership. Over the past year he is averaging 5 classes a month. Based on his attendance history, Chris is actually experiencing a class cost of $22.40 a class. At his attendance level, it would take him 12 months to complete 60 classes. If he was on the 60 class block membership, he would realize a savings of $204! If he chose the 100 class block he would save $540 over those 100 classes.  And if he chose the 300 class block, he would see a savings of $1800! So if his attendance stays as it is, the block of classes really saves his family quite a bit.

See Master Mike for Details!
