Registration Policies
Waiver: All participants under the age of 18 must have a waiver form signed by a parent or guardian before attending any class, camp, or workshop. This form appears at the time of checkout.
How Monthly Tuition Works:
- Our school-year classes run from September through May and include on average, 37 classes over the full school year.
- Tuition is divided into equal monthly payments, billed on the 25th of the month, so your monthly rate stays the same regardless of how many class dates fall within a particular month. Some months may have more classes and others fewer due to holidays and the school calendar.
- Your enrollment continues automatically throughout the school year unless canceled with 30 days' notice.
- If cancellation is not requested 30 days prior to your billing date, your enrollment will carry over to the next month automatically and you will continue to be billed on a monthly basis.
- All enrolled students have access to unlimited makeup classes, so long as their membership is active.
Making Up a Missed Class:
Currently enrolled members enjoy unlimited makeup classes for any missed sessions. To schedule a makeup class, simply contact us to arrange another available class time.
Unused makeup classes roll over from season to season as long as your membership remains active. Makeup classes are offered as a courtesy, are subject to availability, and have no cash or monetary value.
