To qualify for a makeup class, students must notify our office through email or phone call at least 24 hours prior to their absence. Any missed classes are non-refundable. Makeup classes must be taken within the same quarter and cannot be transferred to future quarters or applied towards tuition for subsequent quarters or private lessons. If a student fails to attend a scheduled makeup class without providing at least 24-hour notice, a second makeup opportunity will not be granted.
Refund Policy
For regular quarter classes (Winter, Spring, or Fall), tuition is non-refundable once registration is completed and classes have begun. If a student is unable to attend the remainder of the quarter, parents must notify our school promptly. We can then arrange for the student to transfer to a different class or, in the case of a verified medical condition preventing class attendance, issue a school credit for future use. Summer camps and workshops have separate refund policies, which are clearly stated on their respective program materials.
9- and 12-Month Plan Deposit Policy
A $100 deposit is required for each class enrolled under the 9- or 12-month plan. This deposit will be refunded upon plan completion. During the final quarter of your plan, you may either:
Reduce the quarter's tuition payment by $100, or
Request our office to apply the $100 towards renewing your plan
Early termination of a 9- or 12-month plan will result in forfeiture of the $100 deposit and the loss of eligibility to enroll in future long-term plans. Future enrollments will be limited to the standard 3-month (quarterly) plan.
