Affordability and Scholarships

Providing An Excellent Arts Experience

Jackson School of the Arts has grown into an organization with a reputation for excellence. We continually put a quality experience before profit which is why we keep class sizes small, frequently evaluate our programs and conduct research on best practices. We attribute our steady growth to the values we uphold as an organization.

In addition to our traditional classes, we also create and deliver custom arts education programming for other organizations including preschools, public, charter schools and home school associations, Jackson District Library, YMCA, David’s Promise, and Jackson Interfaith Shelter

Typical Class Fees

Fees for dance (classes from August to June) are based on a sliding fee income scale and are $25-$35 per month. We do this so that all students up to age 17 can participate in a high quality dance program.  Our visual arts and theater classes also use our sliding fee scale to keep our opportunities affordable.

To register everyone must pay for a minimum of 1 month of classes plus any one-time registration fees or costume usage fee.

Additional Discounts:

• Multi-class discount: If a student takes 3 or more classes, you receive 10% off the total.
• Students in multiple classes are still responsible to pay individual costume fees or supply fees.

Scholarship Assistance

Need additional financial support for your child? Complete a scholarship form (obtain from Brandi Kinch at brandi@jacksonarts.org or (517) 784-2389 ) and turn it in by mail or in person after you have completed your registration. To secure your spot in class, you must make the payment for the first month + any supply/costume fee. We will adjust your next month’s invoice to reflect a scholarship fee if awarded. Please note that scholarships are given on a year to year basis. Jackson School of the Arts limits scholarship support to 2 classes per student. Students must maintain good attendance and payment history.
