Course Registration & Policies

Registration For Private Lessons

Based on information we receive from you we will match the student with a teacher and assign a suitable time for your lesson. Once the Registration Form is completed, signed and payment received we will notify the teacher that they have a new student and ask them to begin teaching.

Registration For Classes

Students wanting to take a class can enroll over the phone or by stopping in at our offices. Once payment is received, the student will be added to the class list. We ask that the registrations be completed as soon as possible. This allows the teacher time to gather materials and helps the College staff prepare enough space to hold the class.

• Lessons are all paid in advance
• The first month's lesson fees are due at time of registration.
• Postdated cheques, pre-authorized debit or credit card number for the school year must be provided at the time of registration.
