No worries. Every month we offer new classes that will be starting. Due to the amount of supplies/textbooks we order ahead of time, we do not offer refunds of deposits or tuition. However, we continue to offer a variety of class times to fit the needs of each student. Any student not able to make a class time that they registered for is given the opportunity to move to any other class in the future.

In the rare event that the academy has to cancel a class, you will be notified immediately. You will be offered a seat in the next available class (or future class). If that will not work for your schedule, we will issue you a refund of your deposit/tuition.
