A $15.00 one time registration fee is required for each new student in the school and must be paid with the first month's payment. Registration / Hold harmless forms must be filled out for every student in the school and must be signed prior to attending classes.

Missed Classes: The class in which you register is designed to cover a pre-determined body of material during the year. Also, the size of each class is limited in advance to guarantee individual instruction. Consequently, for each child's sake and progress, it is essential that the child attend regularly and on time. There are no refunds for missed classes. Legitimate absences may be made up during the school year by special arrangement with the teacher.

Open Door Policy: The studio doors stay open during our classes so family members may watch the progression of each student.

Additional Information: The Academy offers classes in all areas of the performing arts. If you are interested in a specific area of training and do not see it listed on our Master Schedule, please feel free to request it. We will make every attempt to meet the needs of all of our students. If you wish to speak to the Director regarding any aspect of the Performing Arts experience, please feel free to call or email Kathleen McGilliard at 851-9229 or 851-1630.
