Refunds of our classes are gladly given on “Art Class” purchases up to the first day of class, less a $ 50.00 administration fee per student and less the amount of any class days attended or missed in their semester.

Unfortunately, we cannot offer refunds for sick days or inclement weather at this time. If in the event our studio needs to be shut down due to any reason or our art instructors need to cancel a class, we will hold a makeup class at a later date free of charge.

There are no make-up classes/credits for missed classes due to illness, work commitments or vacations when purchasing any amount of classes or packages with the exception of the “10-Class Pack” at our standard pricing. Parents are encouraged to purchase a “Full Semester Package” of classes over the course of the year. up to 1 class is missed, can be rolled forward/ made-up with the next purchase of classes with a deduction of this 1 class. That is to say, you will be billed for 9 classes instead of 10. Classes cannot be made-up in the next scholastic year. There are no other exceptions. All art classes stop on June for the year and a new year starts September of the same year.

It is extremely important your child attends our classes in order. Our art classes are cumulative at every level and we do our best to ensure that the students that are in class are getting the best educational experience possible. If a class is missed for any reason, the teacher will not be re-teaching that specific class. You may schedule a private lesson with Elissa if you wish to continue a specific project that you missed.

CAMPER DRESS CODE
We ask that campers wear weather appropriate clothing and comfortable shoes.
Paint has a tendency to stain clothing, so please remember this when sending your
child to camp. Please refrain from sending your child in nice clothing and flip flops,
as campers do get to experience outdoor physical activity daily. Our 2021 motto:
Dress for Mess... Smocks are Provided! Wear your mask!


WAIVER
A waiver MUST be completed upon registration or brought in on your child's first
day of camp. Please click the “Waiver and Release Form” button in our “Art Camp”
section on our main webpage. All forms for camp are mandatory.


FOOD + DRINK POLICY
We strive to maintain a NUT-FREE studio, and ask that parents pack a NUT-FREE
snack & lunch for their child. Campers must bring a water bottle everyday. Please
ensure that his/her name is marked/tagged on the bottle.


SICK DAYS
If your child is feeling ill or showing any signs of illness (or Covid-19 symptoms)
please keep your child home. Please see our Refund/Cancellation Policy above.


MAINTAINING A RESPECTFUL ENVIRONMENT
Respectful, positive, encouraging and fun environments are important to us at the
Academy. Our expectation is that all of our students and parents will show respect
to each other and to our instructors. There is a zero-tolerance policy for in person or
cyber bullying. There is a zero-tolerance policy for racism in any form. If for some reason we feel that this expectation is not being met, we reserve the right to cancel
or modify existing enrolments at any time. If this happens, and issues of a student
or parent’s behavior cannot be resolved, a refund will not be issued to the student
who is asked to leave the program.


ART SUPPLIES + MATERIALS
Unless we specify, Art-Kitect will provide all art supplies in our full-term art classes,
camps and workshops. We want to make sure that everyone of our students is
destined for success. When supplies are not included for a class or workshop, we
will provide a clear list of things to bring.


STUDIO CLOSURES
If by chance we have to cancel a class due to severe or extreme weather
conditions, we will make sure to notify students and parents by email first and then
by phone. In such an event, we will also post it on our instagram page. Please
follow us on Instagram for updates: @artkitect_artschool.

PRIVACY POLICY
The release of your personal and financial information is important to help run our
