Academy Policy
CLASS
- There will be four classes per month, one class every week and each class will be for one hour.
- If a month has 5 weeks, the 5th week will be considered a holiday.
- Batch timings will be followed strictly as different batches are scheduled consecutively across the day & students are requested to come for their classes as per their batch timings to make full use of the session.
- All students are expected to practise, come prepared for the classes and participate in recitals; it is the responsibility of the parent to ensure a practise routine is maintained and the student practises as per the instructions given by the teacher.
- Parents of children 8yrs and below should attend all sessions with their child and be actively involved in the classes.
- All online classes will be recorded for the purpose of teacher and student review by the Academy.
- For students residing in daylight savings time zones, the IST class timings that were fixed will remain constant and you’ll need to adjust your time accordingly when the clocks change if you’ve chosen a slot during our regular teaching hours (between 8.00 AM & 8.30 PM IST)
TUITION FEE
- The tuition fee is charged as a flat rate on a monthly/quarterly basis billed at the beginning of the academic month/quarter.
- The tuition fee for the month/quarter must be paid in advance before the scheduled first week’s class of that month/quarter.
- The tuition fee is non-refundable, non-transferable, and not adjustable against attendance or compensatory classes in case the student is not able to attend one or more classes in a month.
- The bookings for the month/quarter will only be booked once the fee is received.
- In case of delayed payment, a late fee of INR 300 per week will be charged starting from the second week of the month accruing every week. If the tuition fee along with the late fee is not paid even before the fourth academic week of the month the student will run the risk of losing their time slot.
- The course books/study material is not included in the tuition fee and the student must buy this separately. All the books used for the programme are available on Amazon.
- The fee is dependent on the level of the student. If a student gets promoted to a higher level, the fee for that level will be applicable.
- The fee structure is subject to revision every two years and any change in fee structure will be intimated via WhatsApp & email.
ATTENDANCE
- Attendance is compulsory for all four classes, and they must be taken consecutively once every week.
- For online classes, the meeting will be open the first 15 mins of the student’s class time slot. In case the student doesn’t show up during this period it will be considered as a no-show and the class is forfeited.
- In case a student is unable to attend a specific class, the cancellation for that class must be done only via the Google Calendar app by Declining the meeting invite for that specific session from the registered email address.
COMPENSATION CLASS
- Students are eligible to take a compensatory class only for ONE missed class every month provided the 12-hour cancellation notice was given.
- The time slots available for compensatory classes can be viewed and booked from our compensation booking page.
- Compensatory classes must be consumed within 3 months from the day of the missed class beyond which it will be considered forfeited.
- In case a class is cancelled because of the teacher, a compensatory class will be arranged for the student.
- Absenteeism without intimation (no-shows) or short notice cancellations (less than 12-hr notice) will not be eligible for compensation class and the class is forfeited.
- There will be no compensation class for a missed compensation class.
BREAKS & DISCONTINUATION
- A 1-month notice must be given if a student wishes to take a break or discontinue classes.
- In case of a break, a break/slot holding fee amounting to 50% of the tuition fee per month will be applicable if the student’s chosen class slot has to be held till the time he/she returns from a break since all sessions are 1-on-1 and the slots are blocked exclusively for the student and we will have to run the slots empty during the break.
- Break fee will also be applicable if the student is absent for a month without prior intimation and the student’s slot booking with the teacher is guaranteed only if the break/slot holding fee is paid on time.
