SUMMER CAMP / ENRICHMENTS
The guidelines below apply to our Summer Camp and Enrichment Programs. Even if you are not registering for Summer Camp or Enrichment, please verify you have read and agree.
SUMMER CAMP Registrations for summer camp are non refundable and non transferrable for any reason after payment is made/due. Payments for summer camp will be posted and charged the Friday before each week of summer camp starts. I recognize tuition will not be prorated due to emergency closings. There are no discounts for summer.
ENRICHMENT I recognize tuition will not be prorated due to emergency closings. There are no discounts for enrichments.
-Make-Up Policy: In the event of a day of class cancellation, make-up sessions will be offered by extending two classes by 30 minutes each or by adding an additional day, depending on the instructor's decision.
-Transferring / Cancelling Enrollment: Please be aware that once you have registered for a class, we cannot accommodate changes. Please do not register for a class if you are not positive your student will want to attend. This prevents others for registering as there is limited space.
-Tuition: Tuition will be charged the following business day after registration. Once tuition is charged, your student can not switch classes and it is non refundable.
-Refunds: Zenith and the instructors do not offer refunds if a student dislikes the class or cannot attend for the full semester due to personal schedule changes or other instances that may occur.
Enrichment classes need a certain number of students registered in order to take place. If we do not reach this number by the week before the class starts, the class will be canceled.
If a class is canceled because we do not have enough students, any tuition payments made will be fully refunded on the day we make the decision. Please know that deciding to cancel classes based on enrollment is not something we can control.
