School Year Registration
2025-2026 School Year Tuition Pricing
At ASA we believe that music education should be available to all families, regardless of income. In commitment to our values, we have structured tuition based on an equitable sharing of resources. When you pay tuition to Arlington Suzuki Academy, you are not simply paying for your child’s music education. Your tuition is pooled with what each family can offer in order to keep the work of our Suzuki community going and growing. We all benefit from a school that reflects and serves those in and around our community. We depend on this equitable distribution to continue our school’s mission and provide fair pay to our amazing and highly qualified teachers.
