School Policies & Make Ups

Registration

  • You must complete a registration form for each student (register here). There is a one-time per year family registration fee of $25. Registration must be included with your first session’s tuition.

  • Once you fill out the Online Registration Form you’ll receive an invoice from PayPal. If you don’t see it take a look in your spam or junk folders - it will be sent to the email on your registration form.

  • Level 3 and 4 students need to bring a sketchbook that can be left at the school. We suggest a 7x10 or 9x12 spiral bound book. All other supplies for all classes are included.

  • Six students are required for a class to begin. If enrollment drops below six students we reserve the right to cancel the class.

  • Once you register the spot is yours for the school year. If your child chooses not to continue or has a schedule change and needs to switch classes please let us know 2 weeks before the end of a session. If you know you want to change a class time let us know as soon as possible.

Tuition

  • Tuition is due in advance of each session. A calendar with all session dates can be found here.

  • Tuition payment must be confirmed within three days of invoice receipt.

  • Invoices will be sent through PayPal to the email address you supply on the registration form. All major credit cards are accepted and you do not need a PayPal account to make payments.

  • Checks and cash payments are also accepted - email us, info@ct-artschool.com, to make arrangements if you prefer one of these options

  • Tuition is subject to a $10 late fee 7 days after the session due date. There is a $20 charge for returned checks.

  • Refunds are not available for missed classes.

Make-Up Classes

  • There are no refunds or credits for missed classes. If a Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 student is unable to attend their class they will be able to finish the project with virtual, prerecorded instruction. We will email you a link to a video. Students will not be allowed to attend classes other than the one they are registered for. In-person makeups are not possible. Videos allow students to make up classes at home. Level 4 students please contact your teacher is you miss a class.

    We highly suggest having some supplies at home - most importantly a 9x12 pad of watercolor paper. Here is a link to an Amazon page showing supplies we use at our school: https://a.co/aTzPuGw. We suggest shopping around at Michael’s, JoAnn’s, Hobby Lobby or Jerry’s Artarama in West Hartford for the best deals - don’t forget to look for coupons :)

Disruptive Behavior

  • We reserve the right to refuse or terminate enrollment as necessary. Disruptive or unsafe behavior will not be tolerated and students who do not comply will not be allowed to continue. Parents will be contacted and if the behavior repeats the student will not be allowed to remain in class. It is our top priority that the school and studio are safe places for all students. Any remaining tuition is non-refundable.
