​

1. Attendance & Missed Classes

• Students are expected to attend all scheduled classes.

• Missed classes due to personal reasons (vacations, appointments, illness, etc.) are not eligible for refunds, credits, or transfers.

​

2. Program Cancellations

• If a class must be canceled by our program, families will be notified in advance. Whenever possible, a make-up class will be scheduled. The make-up date will be determined based on the day that works for the majority of families.

• If schools close due to emergencies beyond our control (e.g., severe weather, natural disasters, or other unexpected circumstances), refunds will not be provided.

We hold high standards for behavior to ensure a respectful and positive experience for all. Students are expected to:

• Use kind language and show respect to peers and staff.
