East-West Tuition Options
This is the page that everyone is most interested in. Please remember, that this is an investment in your future, and quality should be your top priority vs. the cheapest tuition. You always get what you pay for. If you are looking for the cheapest tuition, you will get the cheapest quality also. If you are looking for the best education at the best price, you have found us!
We have a program to meet almost anyone’s budget. Our tuitions range from $7,995-$14,995. (Please know that you can qualify for scholarships and discounts to lower these tuitions by up to 25%.)
When choosing a school be sure to ask the following 12 Questions:
1.) How long has the school been in business? (Hopefully more than 10 years)
2.) How many students have graduated from their school?
3.) How many students are in their current program?
4.) Do they have references from graduates you can contact?
5.) Are their graduates finding employment and if so, where?
6.) What are the school’s policies and procedures for the program?
7.) Who is handling the administrative duties at the school and are they qualified to handle the extensive paperwork?
8.) Is there a Student Advisor to help with questions?
9.) Does the owner teach all of the classes with a few other instructors, or are there additional staff? (schools with few teachers do not offer the same experience as schools with a variety of experienced instructors)
10.) What is the passing rate of the students at the school on their Board Exams?
11.) Is the school managed by an LMT or other person with a less than thriving practice, or is the school run by someone who has extensive administrative and business experience and training who can handle the extensive duties of running a school?
12.) Does the school focus on massage and healing, or do they also spread their focus to hair, nails and facials.
Be sure you get what you’re looking for, as massage schools are not created equal!
We have 4 full-time programs and 4 part-time programs with a wide range of tuition options. More than any other school in the area, and your books are included!
East-West School offers thousands of dollars in scholarships each year and offers a 0% interest rate financing program to everyone. (You don’t need to qualify!) We do not check credit scores, as we want everyone to have the opportunity to learn and create a new career for themselves even if their past credit has been challenged. Another benefit of being a Private School.
“When I applied for my job, I negotiated a higher pay than other massage therapists because I had graduated from East-West School and knew more techniques. I am also a TA at East-West now, because I love this school!”
