How do I pay for classes?
During the registration process Jack Rabbit will require either your credit card or bank account information. Payments will be automatically processed on the 1st of each month – September – June. Statements are only sent to outstanding accounts. There is a $30 fee for all accounts not paid by the 15th of the month.
Why do I pay the same monthly rate regardless if my child has 3, 4 or 5 classes that month?
The school year runs 10 months (From September to June). Tuition is based on Saturday classes, which have a minimum of 35 lessons per year. This takes into account holiday weekends, Christmas and Spring Breaks. Classes, which fall during the week, may end up with one or two extra classes during the year. These classes are considered “courtesy classes” and are not charged for. The total tuition amount is divided into ten monthly payments. There are no classes Thanksgiving, Easter, Teachers Convention, Family Day or Victoria Day. The studio is closed for a two-week break during Christmas and a one-week break during Spring (according to the Public School Calendar). Competitive class will run as scheduled or on a modified schedule during Spring break and Easter weekend if needed.
What should my child wear to his or her first class?
