MAKE-UP LESSONS AND CANCELLATIONS
(does not apply to group classes)

  • The school provides one make-up lesson for a student’s absence each semester during a make-up week at the end of the semester.
  • In the event that an instructor gives a make-up lesson outside of the scheduled make-up week, that lesson will be considered the make-up lesson.
  • Additional make-up lessons are only given if the instructor cancels a lesson or if the school is closed due to inclement weather. We cannot give an additional make-up lesson when a student cancels due to weather if the school remains open.
  • Make-up lessons canceled by the student will not be rescheduled and are considered completed.
  • Lesson time missed due to a student’s tardiness will not be made up.

STUDIO REGULATIONS

  • No smoking.
  • Students are expected to leave the waiting areas as they found them. Trash should be appropriately disposed of, and puzzles and books should be neatly put away.
  • Siblings or friends less than six years old need to have a baby-sitter or an additional adult supervising them if one parent is involved in the lesson.

These regulations are for the benefit of all students and parents taking lessons, in order to ensure the best environment for learning.
