Policies: We do not follow any homeschool calendars. We are a year round-business and do not close for the summer or follow any public school schedules. If you would like to pay for your music lessons using charter school funding, we require the following:
1. A credit card must be on file for books and other supplies.
2. A deposit of 50% of your first month's tuition is required upon booking your first lesson.
3. Regardless if you run out of funding at any point and decide to discontinue, we require a 30-day notice. All outstanding balances will be made using your original deposit and, if necessary, your credit card that we have on file.
4. Registration Fees, books, and other lesson supplies will be purchased and charged using your credit card on file.
5. Cancellations and missed lessons: Please refer to our cancellation policy if you are missing or canceling any lessons due to travel or school breaks.
6. Failure to communicate at any point about your charter funding status assumes that you have no more funding to use. This will prompt us to charge your final 30-day notice on your credit card on file.
**There is an Annual Registration Fee of $35 per student or $60 per family that is not covered by Compass Charter School. Books and Materials may be required for individual lessons also.
