IN SEAT POLICIES
The following policies govern classes with Little Fine Arts Studio. Please feel free to contact me to discuss any of these policies prior to registering for a class.
Registration Process
* Registration and Registration fee is required for all classes.
* Late registration (joining a class after the series has begun) is possible on a space-available basis.
Fees
* Registration fee of $30 per artist for Fall class is due with registration. This fee is not payable by any Home School Partnerships and is the sole responsibility of the parent.
* Class/program fee of $375 is due one month prior to class start time (unless class tuition is paid by Home School Partnership) and is required to guarantee your child’s spot. If you are a self pay family and would like a payment plan, please contact me.
* Homeschool Partnership payments: If you are participating with a homeschool partnership, full tuition is covered and will be billed to the partnership you listed on the registration form. If you do not complete your count day assignments, Little Fine Arts Studio will not be paid by the school and an invoice will be sent to you in the amount of $375 and will be your responsibility due immediately.
* Class/program fee includes all materials.
HIGH SCHOOL – Art Studio Unlocked FEES:
* SUPPLY/REGISTRATION fee of $100 per artist for Fall ART & DESIGN HIGH SCHOOL is due with registration. This fee covers take home supplies for students to continue their work at home during the week. This fee is not payable by any Home School Partnerships and is the sole responsibility of the parent.
* Class/program semester fee of $375 is due one month prior to class start time (unless class tuition is paid by Home School Partnership) and is required to guarantee your child’s spot.
Cancellation and Refunds
* You may cancel your registration for a class series before it begins for a refund (if class was paid by parent and not paid by Home School Partnership).
* A refund less $25.00 cancelation fee will be given to a withdrawal after the first class.
* No refund will be given for withdrawal from a class series after the second class begins.
* If Little Fine Arts needs to cancel a class due to inclement weather or illness, we will attempt to contact you with as much advance notice as possible.
In-Seat Class Make-Up Policy
Because in-seat classes move forward as a group and projects build week to week, make-up options are limited.
- If a student misses a class and another in-seat class of the same level and age group meets during that same week, the student may attend that class as a make-up, pending space availability.
- Make-up classes must be completed within the same week as the missed class.
- If a student misses an entire week, no in-seat make-up classes are available, as all classes complete the same project and continue building each week.
- Missed classes cannot be carried forward to future weeks or semesters.
- Tuition is not prorated or refunded for missed classes.
- If a class is canceled due to studio choice (such as instructor availability or studio-related circumstances), the class will be made up by adding an additional week to the semester.
Thank you for understanding that this policy helps maintain consistency, flow, and a positive learning experience for all students.
Snacks, Allergies, and Wellness
* Little Fine Arts classes do not have snack time.
* Please do not send your child to class with a snack.
* Please do not bring a sick child to the class. We want to keep everyone healthy!
