Enrollment Terms
New Families
Enrollment for new families at LOL is on a trial basis for both parties. Within 90 days of starting the program, Parent/Guardian may remove student from the program or drop classes from the student’s schedule for any reason, without further financial obligation other than (1) the full tuition through the end of the month in which the student officially notifies LOL of intent to drop any classes or leave the program (LOL must be notified in writing or via email) (2) Material Fees for the entire year and (3) any unpaid tuition and/or class fees. After 90 days of enrollment, new families are obligated to pay the full tuition for the remainder of the program year.
Continuing/Former Families
Leaves of Learning has contractual financial commitments it must meet in a timely manner throughout the calendar year. In order to maintain the high quality of instruction and activities, it is essential that annual income from tuition be assured. Thus, the obligation to pay LOL for the full number of hours a student is originally approved for as of July 1 for the full 34 weeks of the program year becomes binding on July 1st. In rare cases, exceptions to this policy may be made on an individual basis upon evaluation of individual petitions made in writing to the Board of Trustees. If student withdraws before July 1, no tuition is incurred and collected material fees will be refunded. The registration fee will not be refunded in any case.
All Families
LOL reserves the right to ask a student to leave the program if it is felt his/her needs are not being met, or if the student’s behavior is unmanageable or detracts from the experience of others in the program. Facilitators of the program and the LOL Board of Trustees will work together to make these decisions. Parent/Guardian will be contacted about specific concerns prior to any action.
Adding and Dropping Classes
We want students to be happy in their classes and recognize that sometimes a class is not a fit and a change will need to be made. We encourage students give the class a chance before making a decision. If a class change is necessary, please contact the administration via email and explain the reason for the change and fill out an Add/Drop form which is available at the front desk. Classes changed after July 1st will incur a $15 per class change fee.
Invoicing
Tuition is billed and due monthly. As our costs are ongoing, no reimbursements are made for missed days. Because we operate on a tight budget, missing a monthly tuition payment will make it necessary for us to fill your child's spot. If financial hardship is the reason for non-payment, the program director should be contacted to make special arrangements. Students who drop a class either before the year starts or without trying that class for four weeks and/or don't add a replacement class will not be reimbursed their Material Fees for that class.
Registration
Registration must be completed online. It is on a first-come, first-served basis. Current LOL families are given a priority registration period before it is open to the general public. Class selections will not be held until the registration fee and deposit are received.
