If you need to register by phone, you will need to complete and return this paperwork before the program start date. In order to register by phone, you must email info@bax.org to schedule a phone registration appointment.

5. Next, you will fill out contact information for at least one parent/guardian.

Full class prices are calculated as:
Price Per Session x Number of Sessions in the term  

Non-Refundable Registration Fee: Each family will be charged a non-refundable $15 per term registration fee. This fee is a flat rate, no matter how many classes or students the family enrolls in that term, and covers the costs BAX incurs while providing online registration (vendor and processing fees, etc.). 

Family Value Discount (Multi-Person): Families who register another sibling in the same term or register their child for a second class receive 5% off. This discount will be applied to the lowest cost class.

Park Slope Parents Discount: Families with Park Slope Parents receive 5% off class tuition. Email info@bax.org with your PSP Member number to receive the discount code. Visit Park Slope Parents Perks website for details.
