Fall, Winter and Spring semesters are 12 weeks long, Summer Semester is 8 weeks long. The schedule below is for the Fall, Winter and Spring Semesters. Summer schedule and tuition rates will not be posted until late spring of 2008.

If you are a new student, you can take one trial class for $30 before registering for the next semester.

Bridgeview teaching philosophy is individual approach in a group setting. Therefore, our groups are very small. For younger children of age 7 - 9 the groups can't be larger than 7 students. For ages 9 - 17, the maximum group size is 9 kids. Therefore, by registering your child for one semester, you reserve his space in class.

Withdrawal policy. Students can withdraw before the first day of class by notifying the school by telephone, e-mail or in person. Full refund will be provided. Students can withdraw after the first day of class, in which case they lose 1/3 of tuition.

Attention! We allow a payment schedule consisting of two payments, one payable with registration and another one month later. However, payments must be secured with a major credit card. If the second payment is not received on time, we will charge it to your credit card.

Portfolio Preparation for Specialized Art High Schools.

For students in seventh and eighth grades who plan to apply to specialized art high schools, we provide a special portfolio preparation class. Drawing, painting and design assignments will also prepare students for auditions to these high schools. Bridgeview School has a successful track record with portfolio preparation. Almost all of our students who applied to the LaGuardia School of Arts were accepted into its program.
