Tuition Terms
Each parent signs a tuition agreement outlining the following guidelines:There are not a specific number of guaranteed lessons; rather we follow the individual school’s calendar and offer lessons twice a week whenever possible.
There are no official make-ups for field trips, standardized testing, school holidays, illness or any other reason an absence may be incurred by your child, although at some schools it is possible to attend another class as a make-up if one is offered at the same level.
Refunds are provided only if a child discontinues within 30 days of the start date of the first lesson of the semester. If your child misses more than two weeks of lessons in a row due to illness/injury, you will receive a credit for the number of lessons missed (past two) that you had already paid for (unless other classes are available to attend to make up those missed lessons.)
There is one sick/personal day built into each semester for a teacher that need not be made up. If more than one lesson is missed due to a teacher’s absence, that lesson must be made up or you are given a cash credit.
Regular lesson times may be changed and/or extra lessons added preceding each concert performance.
