The Village School of Naples

Performing Arts, Registration and Enrollment:

Registration is for one complete academic year (September through May). All lesson and class schedules will follow the Village School academic calendar year. Lessons are during or outside school hours as scheduled with the instructor. Students can register for lessons at any time throughout the year, and lessons will begin the first week of the following month and continue through the semester. There is a $30 non-refundable registration fee. The Performing Arts Program reserves the right to cancel classes due to insufficient enrollment.

To register, download the form and return it to Deborah Martin, Director. Any questions regarding registration or fees should be directed to Deborah Martin at 239-593-7600, Ext. 208, or email dlmusa@hotmail.com.

Payment Schedule:

There are three payment plans for students of The Village School and members of NNUMC, and three payment plans for unaffiliated students:

Full payment for the entire school year due September 1;
Two payments for each semester due on September 1 and January 1;
Nine equal installments due on the first of each month September through May.

ALL FEES SHOULD BE MADE PAYABLE TO "THE VILLAGE SCHOOL" WITH "PERFORMING ARTS" AND THE STUDENT'S NAME ON THE MEMO LINE AND SUBMITTED TO THE SCHOOL OFFICE.

Any payment more than one week late will be charged an additional $15 late fee.

All returned checks will be assessed a $25 fee without exception.

Attendance:

Regular attendance is expected of all students. No unexcused missed lessons will be made up. Exceptions include:

Student absence: the director must be notified by 9 a.m. on the day of the lesson or class to qualify for a make-up lesson. Only one lesson per semester may be made up.
Teacher absence: any lesson missed as a result of an instructor's absence will be made up.
Emergency school closing: when school is canceled due to inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances, all missed lessons will be made up.
Lessons missed because of teacher planning days or individual school holiday will be made up (this applies primarily to Monday lessons).

If a student forgets books or materials needed for a lesson, that lesson will be forfeited.

No lessons will be scheduled the week of Thanksgiving, Christmas break, or Spring break.

The weeks of Dec. 14 and May 31 will be make-up weeks. January lessons will begin the week of Jan. 11.

Withdrawal Policy:

Withdrawal without penalty may only occur between the Fall and Spring semesters. Should discontinuance be elected by the student for any reason, the Director must be notified in writing by December 15.

Students ceasing private lessons prior to the end of the fall or spring semesters are still responsible for that semester's full tuition.

Failure to make timely payments will lead to the student's termination in the Performing Arts Program.

Student Programs:

Students have the opportunity to participate in recitals and programs. There will be a studio class prior to any recital, which is in lieu of one private lesson.
