Refund Policy
Astrolabe Institute runs as a full academic-year program with intentionally small classes. This policy explains when tuition is refundable for the 2026–27 school year.
Last updated July 23, 2026
Refund cutoff: July 1, 2026
A family who wishes to withdraw may request a tuition refund in writing on or before June 30, 2026.
Effective July 1, 2026, all tuition for the 2026–27 academic year is non-refundable. No refunds will be provided for any withdrawal, dismissal, or non-attendance on or after that date, for the remainder of the school year.
Why this matters
Because our classes are intentionally small and seats are limited, enrolling reserves your child's place for the full year. A firm refund cutoff lets us plan staffing, materials, and lab partnerships responsibly, and it protects the consistency of the group for every family who joins.
Paying tuition
Tuition may be paid through the Step Up For Students scholarship, Astrolabe Institute is a direct provider, or by invoice for families who are not using a scholarship. Registration is not considered complete until payment, or an approved Step Up funding request, is in place. If your family is facing a hardship, please contact us so we can talk through options together.
