ATTENDANCE
​
GENERAL
Students are expected to attend all classes, as well as rehearsals and performances where applicable. There are no refunds for missed classes.
​
PRIVATE MUSIC LESSONS - ONE EXCEPTION
If a lesson is cancelled by us (storm day, teacher ill or away), there is no charge. Makeup lessons may be available for missed time, subject to the teacher's availability.
​
HOLIDAYS
There will be no regular weekly classes Thanksgiving Weekend, Remembrance Day,
Christmas Break, March Break, Easter Weekend or Victoria Day Weekend. These closures have been factored into each session's tuition.
​
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. We will send updates by email and social media by 2 p.m. on stormy weekdays and 8 a.m. on stormy Saturdays to advise whether 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.
​
​
​
DISCOUNTS
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.
​
​
​
REFUNDS​
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.
