When you register for a class, it is yours for the term; it is not possible to substitute siblings or friends in place of a registered student.
Credit for the balance of tuition fees is occasionally issued (less a $35.00 processing fee) if a child is having difficulty adjusting to a class (and has made an effort to participate for at least 2-3 classes), or is suffering from an extended illness or injury. We do not offer credit if a class needs to be dropped due to a change in a child's or parent's schedule.
