|
Can my child take classes whenever he/she wants and what type of a commitment is expected? |
|
|
The
Children & Teen Program is a 36 week commitment with classes
running from the early September through the middle of June 7 days a
week. Class attendance is extremely important for your child’s
progress.
Moreover, once a student is signed up for a class, he/she is
responsible for the full years payment, as we hold a place for the
student for the entire year. |

|
Do you have a recital? |
|
|
Yes. The Children & Teen Program ends their 36 or 37 week session with a low-key, low pressure Spring Concert in late May. This allows parents and friends to see what a child has learned throughout the year and to celebrate their accomplishments. It also gives the student a chance to enhance their performance skills. |

|
Am I allowed to watch my child in class? |
|
|
Although parents are not allowed in class during class, parents can still view the classes through the one-way windows in each class. Parents are not allowed in the class because it hinders the teachers to ability to maintain the students’ focus. |
