POLICIES
PAYMENTS
SUMMER CAMPS
Payment is required within 2 weeks of camp start to confirm enrollment. If a camp is full with a waiting list, we reserve the right to offer any unpaid spots to the waiting students.
2020-2021 SCHOOL YEAR: GROUP CLASSES
Group classes run from September to June. It is assumed that all students are enrolling for the entire year unless they inform us otherwise.
Our school year is divided into three terms:
-
Fall (September-December)
-
Winter (January-March Break)
-
Spring (March Break-June)
Prices listed on the signup page are for the current term.
Tuition fees are due at the beginning of each term.
Tuition fees must be paid by the second week of classes in order to reserve a spot.
Tuition fees for future classes may be paid at any time, in any amount.
All fees for the year must be paid by March 31, 2021.
We accept Visa, MasterCard and Interac e-transfer online.
We accept credit/debit cards, cash and cheques at the front desk.
2020-2021 SCHOOL YEAR: TRIAL CLASSES
Interested students may try out any group class for one week with no commitment, free of charge.
2020-2021 SCHOOL YEAR: PRIVATE LESSONS
Private lessons run weekly from September to June.
There are two enrolment options:
Pay-as-you-go - $24/30mins, due when the lesson happens.
Annual rate - $700/30mins weekly or $1330/60mins weekly
Annual rate operates on the same schedule as group classes (see above).
While the terms vary slightly in length, tuition for each is 1/3 of the annual total.
Tuition is due by the second week of classes each term.
30mins weekly = $233.33 per term
60mins weekly = $443.33 per term
Annual fees are based on 32 lessons. Our school year actually spans 36 weeks; this allows for cancellations due to weather, illness etc.
EDUCATION DEVELOPMENT BUNDLES
We encourage children to participate in multiple disciplines within the performing arts school. Therefore we have created a pricing bundle for 3 or more group classes at 10% off. Private lessons cannot be included in the pricing bundles.
FAMILY RATE
For families of 3 or more siblings, we offer a 10% discount on classes for the third (or more) child.
STORM DAYS
As the weather changes, we may have to cancel classes due to road conditions. We do not cancel automatically if schools are cancelled. Please check our webpage/facebook/twitter/voice mail by 2 p.m. on stormy weekdays, or 8 a.m. on Saturdays, to see if classes have been postponed. We have placed extra time in our schedule to allow for make-up time through extra rehearsals and classes if needed.
ATTENDANCE
Students are expected to attend all classes, as well as rehearsals and performances where applicable. There are no refunds for missed classes.
REFUNDS
SUMMER CAMPS
For cancellations with 7+ days notice, we can provide a full refund, minus a $25 admin fee. For cancellations with less than 7 days notice, we are unable to provide refunds. This is because we rely on enrolment numbers to plan camps. Cancellations with less than a week's notice do not reduce our costs.
2020-2021 SCHOOL YEAR
We are able to provide a refund for program fees up until the second week of classes each term, provided we are informed of cancellation via the office email (info@iactspa.com) or by calling our office (506-674-9192). No refund can be given for the first term after the second week of classes. However, you will not be charged for the winter or spring term. The same policy is in effect for the second and third terms.
