The VIK Club program has moved to a monthly invoice/billing system. When monthly charges have been invoiced according to the selected schedule for a student, a copy of the invoice is sent via email indicating the invoice due date. A $25.00 late fee will be assessed if payment is not submitted by the due date with subsequent $25.00 late fee charges assessed until the balance is paid in full. If a student does not need to start attending the VIK Club program immediately, please ensure a start date is selected to avoid being invoiced prior to student attendance.
The VIK Club program is designed to support the needs of today’s working families.
