What’s a 3-month plan?
Ichen Art Academy has a quarter system. Each year is divided into four quarters. A 3-month plan refers to a single quarter plan. With a 3-month plan, parents will pay one quarter at a time, with no long-term obligations. This is a good way for those families with younger aged kids who just want to try it out and see if they really like art.
What’s a 9-month plan?
With a 9-month plan, you make a commitment of registering for the next three consecutive quarters, excluding the summer quarter. Each class you will receive $3 discount compared to a 3-month plan. Initially, you will need to put down a $100 deposit, which will be returned to you at the last quarter of the plan period.
What’s a 12-month plan?
With a 12-month plan, you make a commitment of registering for the next four consecutive quarters, including the summer quarter. Each class you will receive $5 discount compared to a 3-month plan. Initially, you will need to put down a $100 deposit, which will be returned to you at the last quarter of the plan period.
If I am on a 12-month plan, do I need to sign up for the summer quarter?
Yes. With a 12-month plan, you can either sign up for one week of summer camp/workshop, or one regular class (once a week) for the entire summer quarter.
What does In-Person/Online class mean?
If a class is marked as “In-Person/Online” on the Fremont class schedule, it means for Fremont students, it can be either In-Person or Online. But for Pleasanton students, this class will be online only, and vice versa.
With an In-Person/Online class, the teacher will start a Zoom class from a classroom at our school. Some students will attend the class in-person while others participate in the same session online.
