Hope Academy’s Saturday Dance and Theater Program and Music Program have separate registration processes and online forms.
MUSIC PROGRAM REGISTRATION
1) INQUIRY FORM FOR PRIVATE LESSONS AND SUZUKI STRINGS
Before registering and paying for private lessons or the Suzuki Strings Program, you will need to fill out an Inquiry for Private Lessons form. This will give us the information we need to match your child with a teacher and find a schedule that works for everyone. We will begin scheduling private lessons on August 15, 2018 and will start with returning students.
2) ONLINE REGISTRATION
Once a lesson day and time has been agreed upon, the next step is to complete an online Music Program Registration form and make payment within one week. If we do not received your registration form and payment in a week’s time, the lesson day and time with the teaching artist will be offered to someone else on the inquiry list. Most teaching artists fill their schedules before the beginning of September and there is limited availability after the school year begins.

A full-tuition refund is given for withdrawals from a course or private lessons 10 days before they begin. No partial refunds are given for missed private lessons. Only one (1) make-up lesson per term is given to each student. Registration fees are non-refundable.
Because tuition only covers a small portion of Hope Academy’s costs, there are no refunds for weather-related cancellations or other events that could create an unsafe environment for students and families.
TAX-DEDUCTIBLE DONATIONS
Tuition covers only a small portion of Hope Academy’s operating costs. Your tax-deductible donation allows us to continue to offer high quality, affordable arts education to children and youth in our community. You can include a donation with your registration, or make a separate donation here.
