SCHOOL POLICIES
1. Our season runs from September to June and is divided into two terms; students registered for the full season have priority over new students for placement in Term II.

2. Classes are limited to 12 students and may be combined or cancelled due to insufficient registration.

3. We have 2 shows – a small Christmas show, and a full show in June. Additional costume fees and ticket charges are required for the June show, photography fees are optional.

4. A non–refundable registration fee of $35 is required to reserve placement. All fees (including post dated cheques) must be received with registration. Additional payment plans are subject to an admin fee of $20. A $45 charge will be added to any NSF cheque, and a late charge of $20 per month will be added to unpaid balances. Receipts are issued once; there is a $20 admin fee should you require an additional copy.

5. Full refunds of unused class fees will be issued up until the 3rd class of the term. There will be no refunds after the 4th class, or for classes missed due to lateness, absence, or being unable to participate in class for any reason.

6. Our staff is made up of working industry professionals. We may schedule make up classes or substitute teachers if staff members are absent due to professional obligations.

7. We do not schedule make up classes for scheduled studio closures or student absences. Please inform teachers in advance of lateness or absence whenever possible.

8. Everyone is expected to be on time and to follow the Dress Code, which helps ensure everyone’s safety. Those who are late or unprepared may be asked to observe class only.
