Kindergarten (ADK) Program for parent(s)/guardian(s). ADK tuition for
the 2018-2019 school year is $330 per month, and the first month is due
at the time of ADK registration. Space is limited. If there are more
available seats than ADK applicants, then a lottery will not be
necessary. If there are more ADK applicants than available seats at a
