SCHOOL OF THE ARTS POLICY

PRIVATE LESSON POLICY FOR Fall 2025

Students enrolled in Fall 2025 lesson are contracted for 16 lessons beginning the week of August 2th. Lessons are located at the Pathfinder Church ministry center on the 2nd floor (15800 Manchester Rd. Ellisville, MO 63011). If you drive to the Pathfinder campus and turn onto the west parking lot (between the church and Einstein's), follow the signs to the Ministry Center. Enter through the Ministry Center Door and take the elevator to the second floor. Exit the elevator and your instructor will be there to greet you and help you find your room.

PAYMENT

Lessons with all of our Instructors are $38.50 per 30-minute lesson.

There are two payment options. Option one is to pay in full for the entire session. Option two is to pay over 4 installments throughout the sesssion.
- The total to pay in full is $616.00 per session, which may be completed either by ACH direct withdrawal or by credit card (subject to 3% processing fee)
- The amount per installment is $154.00 per installment (4 per session), which must be paid by ACH direct withdrawal.
If we are unable to withdraw the payment from your account, we will attempt to contact you by email and phone to collect payment. If payment is not submitted, lessons will immediately cease.

EXPECTATIONS

Students must sign in upon arrival for their lesson at School of the Arts to ensure our records are accurate and all students are accounted for in the buildling.

A lesson will not be extended if a student is late.

If the student is more than 10 minutes late the lesson will be cancelled.

ABSENCE / CANCELLATIONS

Regular attendance for lessons is expected. Students are charged for all lessons, including those missed due to absence of any kind (vacation, illness, and extracurricular activities etc.). As a courtesy to your teacher, a student should notify the teacher in advance regarding any absence. This prior notification does not exempt the student from payment. Teachers are not required to give make up lessons when a student is absent.

If a teacher is absent, the lesson will be rescheduled and take place before recitals are performed (if possible). Missed makeup lessons will not be rescheduled.

Lesson times are firm, and cannot be extended if a student arrives late. Scheduled public holidays do not mean private lessons are cancelled. Please refer to the website or the School of the Arts calendar for details.

INSTRUCTORS

Our instructors go through the highest level of scrutiny. They must possess a proven track record for teaching beginner, intermediate, and advanced students.

Each instructor has received a background check by Pathfinder School of the Arts, but parents/guardians have the option of being in the room with their child during the lesson.

School of the Arts reserves the right the reassign a student to a different instructor in exceptional circumstances.

In special cases, a parent/guardian may be asked to attend lessons if an instructor requires it.

PRACTICING AND RECITALS

School of the Arts believes that establishing a regular habit of practicing outside of lesson time is very important to the growth of our student(s). We encourage our families and instructors to come up with a practice schedule that encourages students to work diligently to grown in their skills, and come prepared to each lesson.

School of the Arts holds a recital at the conclusion of our fall and spring sessions for ALL of our students, no matter their skill level. We highly encourage our students to perform in our recitals to showcase what they have been working on during the session.
