Bright Stars Academy has two sessions. We offer a summer session and a school year session. Bright Stars school year session students are automatically re-enrolled for their current classes for the next month. You are not obligated to have your child enrolled in each month through out the entire school year session. For your convenience, Bright Stars re-enrolls all children throughout the school year. If you should wish to withdraw your child for the next month, please be sure to complete the WITHDRAWAL FORM by the 20th of the month (as to not be charged the following month's tuition on the 25th) . Doing so will allow us to open your child's spot up for a child on our wait list and remove the tuition fees for the next month. Failure to complete the withdrawal form will continue to hold a spot in the class for your child and you will be responsible for the tuition fee. Withdrawal forms can easily be found on our website as well in both of our lobbies.

Bright Stars does not pro-rate for absences. Tuition credits are not given for missed classes. Missed classes may not be "made up" in a regularly scheduled weekly class. For your convenience and as a courtesy we do offer "make up class days" throughout the month depending on the program. All children attending a "make up class" must be currently enrolled in a class. Please keep in mind all make-up classes must be scheduled in advance by calling or stopping in at the front desk. Classes may also be made-up in our "Open" programs- Open Gym & Open Swim. PLEASE NOTE: This policy may vary depending on the type of program/class.
