Payments for the current month’s lessons are due the last lesson of the previous month. You are not obligated to pay for more than one month at a time. (Example: June’s tuition is due the last lesson in May.)
You will be given a grace period. The grace period ends the 7th day of the current month. A $25 late fee is required if your tuition is paid any day after the grace period.
If your tuition is not paid by the second lesson of the month, your slot will become available to new students.
Students are required to pay for a minimum of four lessons each month. If you need to cancel a lesson, we do allow make-ups. The following is the make-up policy:
If the instructor cancels, you will receive a make-up with your instructor, or a substitute, within the same month.
If the student/parent cancels within 24 hours of scheduled lesson, you will forfeit your lesson.
If the student/parent cancels within 48 hours of scheduled lesson, you will have 1 month to reschedule makeup. If the makeup lessons has not been redeemed within the month, you will forfeit your lesson.
If you miss your make-up, that lesson is forfeited. (You cannot make-up a make-up)
Every attempt will be made to see that the student has his/her make-up.
Students who are a “No Show” (Does not attend a scheduled lesson and does not call to cancel) for two consecutive weeks will be removed from the schedule.
There is a $25 reinstatement fee if you are voluntarily or involuntarily removed from the schedule.
Please call your school manager if you need to cancel/reschedule a lesson. We would like a 48-hour advance notice. However, if we do not receive a call, we will consider you a NO SHOW and your makeup is forfeited. **Applies to in-home lessons.** (If an instructor arrives to scheduled destination and you are not present.)
Payment is required for ALL “No Shows.” (No make-up is allowed.)
If you arrive late to class, please be aware that the instructor is not required to teach past the allotted time. (Other students may have lessons scheduled immediately following.)
Students who desire to withdraw from any class, should do so at the end of the calendar month. (You will not be given a refund if you withdraw before the month has expired.)
If you discontinue lessons before the end of the month or before you use all the lessons you paid for, you have one (1) month to use any unused balance. There will be no refund and no lessons due you after one (1) month has passed.
If we are not notified of your intent to withdraw from classes and that time slot has been reserved for the student, these missed lessons will be logged, as “No Shows” and you will be billed. (See #10)
If your instructor is absent, you will be notified, or another instructor will be provided.
If no instructor is available, you will be notified, and we will schedule a makeup lesson within one (1) month. Your instructor will provide the full lesson time.
A make-up that results in a “No Show” will not be made up. No refund will be given.
$50 annual registration fee is non-refundable.
There is a $25 fee for all checks returned by your bank.
Before returning to lessons, any balances must be paid in full.
Your reserved day and time are not changed because of holidays. You are expected to continue lessons unless the school is otherwise notified one (1) month in advance for scheduling purposes.
