What happens if we miss a lesson?Greg Bakke2023-02-25T10:52:23+00:00

What happens if we miss a lesson?

If a student misses a lesson due to illness or a school trip, the lesson is not refunded or rescheduled.

In the unlikely event of a teacher absence we will rearrange the lessons for all students and come in on a different day.

How do the lessons work?

We do group lessons or 1-2-1 lessons at this school. They take place during the school day and we rotate the lessons so the kids don’t miss the same lesson each week. We follow the school term dates!
