Academy Schedule
Parents and students enjoy flexibility scheduling, choosing from various lesson times offered by our qualified instructors.
The Academy operates during the standard school year (September-May) and incorporates thirty weekly lessons. There are four weeks during the year in which no lessons will be given: Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, and Spring Break.
Most months have four lessons, but some months will have five, while others will only have three. Tuition is based on the average for the nine-month schedule, therefore the cost will be the same for each monthly invoice regardless of how many lessons are included in any given month.
