Cost Overview
ATS is a nonprofit, self-supporting program which receives no federal or state funding. Course fees range from $114 to $399 depending upon the length of the course. Financial aid is available for summer classes. Over $31,000 was awarded to students last year.
Supervision
ATS provides supervision during class time only. ATS staff do not escort students to and from class. Students are expected to be responsible, indepedent individuals and find their own way to class and around campus. If students are not ready for this level of independence, they should wait an additional summer before applying to ATS classes.
