Students are required to attend all scheduled classes for the Level in which they are registered. Partial attendance is not allowed. Students or their families must report all absences to the School prior to class time in order to be excused.
Students who are injured are expected to observe classes and take notes. Students may be excused from being required to observe classes during cases of extended absences due to injury on a case by case basis at discretion of the Managing Director and/or Principal. Attendance in all scheduled classes is critical to consistent progress and advancement in the School. Poor attendance (whether absences are excused or unexcused) may jeopardize a student’s promotion, participation in productions, or Financial Aid. There are no make-up classes for any class cancellations or student absences.
Students cast in company productions are expected to attend all regularly scheduled classes in addition to rehearsals. There are no make-up classes for classes missed due to rehearsals.
It is essential that students come to class on time. Late arrival does not allow a student sufficient time to warm up, may cause injuries and disrupts class concentration. Students more than fifteen minutes late to any class will not be permitted to participate in or observe the class.
