Lesson Cancellation Policy
Regardless of which payment option you choose, there will always be an opportunity to MAKE UP a missed lesson if notice is given 24 hours IN ADVANCE. Yes, of course, a child may come home from school sick and you would have to make an emergency cancellation. Our faculty understands the likelihood that this may occur, and they will do their best to provide a one time makeup if their schedule permits.
Emergency Cancellations
In any case of emergency, (serious illness or injury) please call our office ASAP.
Without prior notice, lessons will be forfeited with no credits or refunds.
Make-up Lesson Policy
Each student family is entitled to TWO MAKEUP LESSONS, per semester. Parents and the main desk admins will keep track of these makeups to insure accuracy.
Missed lessons must be made up within the month that they were missed, (if possible).
Your instructor will provide you with three convenient options for makeup lessons and we kindly ask you to please accept one of their generous options.
Unfortunately too many families misunderstand the principle of makeup lessons hence causing teachers to be left with gaps in their schedule which severely affects their livelihood!
