Our Financial Contract

Tuition & Structure

Each year of study is comprised of four 9 day Events. Events are held in Northern New Mexico.

As a student of the Movement School you are responsible for meeting your financial contract in a timely manner. Tuition is divided into thirds, and is due on the 1st of March, August and November. Your tuition remains the same throughout the course of your three-year training. Yearly tuition for the new incoming class beginning, October 30, 2010, will be $9,000. We grant a fourth year grace period for making up missed time at no extra expense.

Although our curriculum requires three years of study to graduate, each year we ask for a personal and financial commitment for that year. At the end of each year, we ask you to decide whether or not to commit personally and financially for another year. At the end of each school year, together, we review your standing as a student of the Movement School. Because The Movement School is not exclusively a vocational school, but a community/school devoted to personal development, every student that upholds their contract graduates. Graduating is not contingent upon talent, or performance. It is contingent upon being there, doing your best, and being supportive of your fellow students.
