Absence Policy
Absence From School
Please be aware that if your child is absent for any reason, the child’s place is held for him/her. As our expenses continue and this space cannot be filled by another student from the waiting list, we regret that we cannot provide refunds or permit him/her to make up time outside of the regular class and time assigned.
In the Event of Class Interruption
Should we need to temporarily cancel classes for more than one day during the school year due to circumstances beyond our control (e.g. severe weather, fire, flood, pandemic, etc.), we will shift to remote learning for all affected students, with the exception of children in our Foundations and PreCasa programs. During this period, your school fees will be pro-rated to reflect the remote learning rate for those dates that the class could not meet in person. For class interruption in Foundations, PreCasa, or other classes in the event that remote learning is not possible (e.g. power outage), no further school fees will be withdrawn until instruction resumes. Depending on the date of closure and length of time required to resume operations, you may forfeit fees paid for not more than the current month of instruction. Your security deposit for the current school year will not be refunded, but will be available to apply to future school services within the school year of the event or the following summer school period. Pro-rated refunds for the period of class interruption will be issued to families who have prepaid the full year's school fees, excluding the month of the event and the security deposit.
