Attendance
All Arts Academy students must commit to a full semester (or summer term). This is to ensure the integrity of a student’s experience in learning the individual instrument. It is also important that the student arrives a few minutes early to each lesson. Any student arriving late will be taught only for the remaining minutes of their allotted lesson time.

Enroll Mid-Term
Students may enroll at any time during the semester based on availability. Tuition costs are pro-rated for the remainder of the term at a per lesson price.

Make Up Lessons
It is the student’s responsibility to contact the teacher if a lesson is to be missed. If the teacher cannot be reached, please contact the Arts Academy Office. Make-up lessons for cancellations are granted only for an excused absence in which the teacher is notified at least six hours prior to the lesson. It is the Academy policy that an excused absence consists of student illness, extreme emergency, or death in the family. An unexcused absence includes homework, athletic events, or a school activity. Only one makeup lesson per semester will be granted.

Schedule
The Academy offers classes on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays during the school year. Private Lessons are offered in 30–minute, 45–minute and one hour time blocks. No Academy activity will be scheduled to conflict with other Hunter Street Baptist Church activities.
