Consistent attendance is essential to student growth and the success of all classes and productions.

Students are expected to attend all scheduled classes and rehearsals. All absences must be reported through the Academy app prior to the scheduled class or rehearsal.

Excessive absences may result in:

• Removal from a production
• Reassignment of roles or responsibilities
• Ineligibility for certain performance opportunities

Participation in productions requires a strong commitment to the rehearsal process.

• Students and families should:
• Prioritize scheduled rehearsals and performances
• Communicate any conflicts in advance
• Be available for all required rehearsals leading up to performances, including technical rehearsals

Failure to meet these expectations may impact casting and participation.

The Academy communicates primarily through its app and email.

Families are responsible for:

• Keeping contact information up to date
• Regularly checking the app and email for announcements, schedules, and updates

The Academy is not responsible for missed information due to outdated contact details or failure to review communications.

Tuition is billed on a monthly basis unless paid in full at the time of registration.

Tuition reserves a student’s place in a class or company and is not dependent on attendance.

Failure to remain current on tuition payments may result in removal from classes or programs.

Production fees are separate from tuition and are required for participation in performances. Due dates will be the first day of classes in the Fall and Spring semesters.

Production fees are non-refundable and help cover costs including costumes, sets, props, licensing, and technical production.

Refund policies vary by program. Families should review program-specific policies at the time of registration.

To withdraw from a class or program, families must notify the Academy in writing.

Company placement and casting decisions are made at the sole discretion of Academy faculty and staff.

Decisions are based on multiple factors, including:

• Skill level
• Growth potential
• Ensemble balance
• The specific needs of a production

All placement and casting decisions are final.

Students are expected to demonstrate respectful and professional behavior at all times.

This includes:

• Respect for instructors, staff, and fellow students
• Focus and participation during classes and rehearsals
• Adherence to Academy guidelines and expectations

The Academy reserves the right to remove any student whose behavior disrupts the learning environment.

Students are expected to follow the dress code appropriate to their program.

• Company students must adhere to the company dress code as outlined in the parent portal
• Open enrollment students should wear comfortable clothing suitable for movement and closed-toe shoes

Students must be signed in and out through the Academy’s attendance system.

• Parents or guardians must walk students into the building and complete check-in at the front desk kiosk
• Parents must enter the building for pick-up unless a “walker” waiver is on file
• Students arriving more than 10 minutes late must be escorted inside and checked in

Students are considered under Academy supervision only after they have been checked in.
