Tuition Fees
The Richmond Neighborhood Center strives to keep our tuition costs affordable. Alamo, Argonne, George Peabody, Lafayette, and McCoppin families pay according to the sliding scale of $0/month to $500/month. Note that fees has changed as a result of the increased program hours for the 2022-2023 school year.
Please note that this sliding tuition scale has been updated for the 2022-2023 school year

Rates based on Federal poverty guidelines.
Late Payment Policy
Payment is due on the 5th of each month. Late payments will be charged an extra fee of 10% of monthly payment. Families who miss one tuition payment will become delinquent in their accounts and will be given a deadline to make these payments in full. Failure to meet this deadline will result in immediate suspension from The Richmond Neighborhood Center program until payments are made.
Pursuing and processing late payments are detrimental to our resources and take attention away from our programming. We ask all families to be responsible and submit tuition on time (inquire about our convenient auto-pay options).
If your family is unable to pay the current monthly tuition or feel your monthly rate does not reflect your current financial situation, please contact us. We will work out an arrangement!
