We have a rolling enrollment.
Lessons may start at any time during the year.
In 2020, we will continue lessons and tuition schedule for the school year through the Summer.
Looking ahead for 2021, enrollment for summer term is mandatory. Students are required to register for a minimum of 8 weeks of summer lessons. Students may take extra lessons during a single week or schedule longer lessons throughout the summer to comply with this requirement.
We ask all students to complete the enrollment form once a year. This helps us keep current you contact information.
Parents or guardians must sign the form, indicating that they understand and agree to our policies.
Please find the form here.
We do not offer make-up lessons when a student misses a lesson for any reason, including illness or prearranged vacation.
We also do not give credits or refunds when a student misses a lessons for any reason. In the event that a teacher misses a lesson, it will either be rescheduled at a time that is mutually convenient for the student and teacher, or we will credit your account.
Please read more about this policy here.
We reserve the right to photograph and video students for training and promotional purposes.
Because we offer Suzuki Teacher Training, it is common to have teachers observe our lessons as part of their course requirements.
We also have an open door policy, allowing local teachers to come observe lessons.
Group classes are an integral part of the Suzuki Method. We do not offer the option to “opt out”, and require all students to attend group classes.
There are no group classes scheduled during the Summer Term.
In order to protect teacher and other students from contagious ilnesses, we request that students who have a fever, or who have had a fever within 24 hours, do not attend private lessons or group classes.
The same guidelines are suggested for students with nausea. Teachers reserve the right to not teach lessons for students who are ill, or appear to be suffering symptoms of the flu, colds, etc.
Remote lessons through Zoom are an option for students who need to stay home due to illness.
We admit students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school.
We do not discriminate on any basis, including race, color, national and ethnic origin, in administration of our educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and other school-administered programs.
We follow the Orange County Public Schools calendar, and will close whenever OCPS closes or cancels classes.
Open communication is a necessary part of any educational endeavor. We strongly encourage open communication between the student, parent, and teacher. If conflicts arise during the course of the school year, please inform us immediately.
During one of the last four weeks of the school year we hold parent conferences, without the student, in lieu of a lesson. This conference gives the parent and teacher a chance to revisit each others' vision for the child, and discuss the progress towards a shared vision.
Additional conference times may be scheduled if deemed necessary by either parent or teacher.
The development of your child is the essence of our work.
