We strive to make SCC a safe place where kids are loved and deeply encouraged to become excellent musicians and creative adults. We know this sort of engagement is worth it for our choristers. We also acknowledge the choir can be a substantial financial investment for families. We believe that EVERY CHILD who wants to sing can have a place in choir, regardless of background, socio-economic status, or financial capacity.

Tuition Refund Policy
We work with the families of choristers to make the Seattle Children’s Chorus experience a positive and educational time of excellence, nurturing excellence in young musicians. We understand that occasionally due to life circumstances a family is forced to withdraw their chorister from the program. We are always sad to see such a musical experience come to a conclusion. If this should happen, a choristers may be due a tuition refund or reduction if they withdraw from choir before the end of the season due to illness or other unforeseen circumstances.
If this circumstance arises, parents of choristers must give written notice of their intent. This notice must be 30 days in advance of the withdrawal. The tuition refund or reduction will be based on the date that the written notice is turned into the Seattle Children’s Chorus office. Please note that if you are on an installment plan you must continue paying installments until you have paid the required portion.
If written notice is given on or before September 1, the family is liable only for the nonrefundable registration fee.
If written notice is given on or before October 30th, the family is liable for the nonrefundable registration fee and ¼ of the annual tuition.
If written notice is given on or before January 1, the family is liable for the nonrefundable registration fee, and 1/2 of the annual tuition.
If written notice is given after January 1, the family is liable for the nonrefundable registration fee, and the annual tuition.
After January 1, there is no allowable refund.
Please contact the office with any questions regarding your account. Thank you!
