Tuition / Matrícula

BYC uses a sliding scale tuition model to support families of all circumstances. Your tuition payment is based on your gross household income and the length of enrollment (full year vs. one semester). You may opt for a monthly payment plan, or pay the tuition in full.

You can also receive the following discounts:

  • Early Bird: Register before July 1 to receive a $50 discount (full year) or $25 discount (semester).
  • Refer-a-Friend: If your friend enrolls in Berks Youth Chorus and lists your name on their registration form, we will credit you $100 toward tuition.
  • Child of Alumni: Children of Berks Youth Chorus (formerly Berks Classical Children’s Chorus) alumni receive 10% off tuition.

Please review this document to see our full tuition schedule.

Tuition is nonrefundable. If you select a monthly payment plan, BYC will continue to withdraw payments until the plan is complete. This policy may be altered on a case-by-case basis due to extenuating circumstances.

BYC ahora tiene un horario de matrícula para apoyar a familias de todas circunstancias. Su pago de matrícula se basa del ingreso bruto del hogar y el periodo de inscripción (semestre o año completo). Usted puede escoger un plan de pago mensual o pagar en completo.

Además puede recibir los siguientes descuentos:

  • Temprano: Si se inscribe antes del 1 de julio, recibe un descuento de $50 (año completo) o $25 (solo otoño).

I understand that attendance is more than learning notes: it is essential to the process of forming an ensemble. 1) My singer will arrive at least 5 minutes early to every rehearsal, and attend every rehearsal in its entirety. 2) My singer will bring music, water and a pencil to every rehearsal. 3) I understand that my singer is allowed up to 2 unexcused absences per semester. Absences are only excused for emergencies, and on a case-by-case basis approved before the missed rehearsal by the ensemble director. 4) If my singer has more than two (2) unexcused absences, or an excessive number of excused absences, this may trigger a conversation with the Executive Director about whether my singer may continue to sing with BYC for the remainder of the semester. 5) I will receive a detailed rehearsal/performance schedule before the season begins, and I will communicate any conflicts with the schedule to info@berksyouthchorus.org as early as possible. /// Entiendo que asistencia es sobre más que aprender la música: es esencial al proceso de formar un conjunto. 1) Mi cantante va a llegar a lo menos 5 minutos temprano a cada ensayo, y asistir cada ensayo completamente. 2) My cantante va a traer su música, agua y una lápiz a cada ensayo. 3) Entiendo que mi cantante se permite 2 ausencias inexcusadas por semestre.

In consideration of the opportunity for their minor child to receive the educational and musical benefits of BYC's membership, Parents and legal guardians (referred to collectively as "Guardians") agree as follows: The minor child may participate in all BYC rehearsals, performances, tours and other BYC events, and GUARDIANS hereby authorize BYC and its staff and Directors to involve said minor in such rehearsals, performances, tours and events. GUARDIANS agree that said minor will be under the control and authority of such BYC Officers, staff and Directors, and that such Officers, staff and Directors may exercise parental supervision over the child. This constitutes an assignment of temporary guardianship, and Directors may exercise control and make all decisions thereunto pertaining. GUARDIANS further agree that they will, at all times, hereafter indemnify and save harmless BYC and its Officers, Directors, staff, parents, members and volunteers, both individually and in their capacity as such Officers, Directors, staff, parents, members and volunteers, and/or any other organization under whose auspices or in whose premises the minor may rehearse or perform and/or individual and/or organization providing transportation for said minor, from and against all claims, suits, damages, costs, losses, and expenses in any manner resulting from or arising out of said minor’s participation in such rehearsals, performances, and/or tours.

GUARDIANS further acknowledge that they are aware of the risks associated with COVID-19 and that certain vulnerable individuals may have greater health risks associated with exposure to COVID-19. While particular recommendations and personal discipline may reduce the risks associated with participating in athletics during the COVID-19 pandemic, the risk of serious illness, medical complications, and possible death does exist. GUARDIANS knowingly and freely assume all such risks, both known and unknown, even if arising from the negligence of others, and assume full responsibility for Student’s participation in BYC rehearsals, activities, performances and other events during the COVID-19 pandemic. GUARDIANS willingly agree to comply with the stated recommendations put forth by the Berks Youth Chorus to limit the exposure and spread of COVID-19 and other communicable diseases. We certify that the minor child is in good physical condition or believe the minor child to be in good physical condition and allow participation in these events at our own risk.

This agreement shall be binding upon my/our heirs, successors, administrators and assigns. By printing the Guardian's name above, the Guardian signs this binding agreement.
