Accepted Answer

All purchases are non-refundable. If you're enrolled in a monthly plan and wish to stop automatic payments, please notify us via email at info@victoriaartlosaltos.com at least one month before the next billing date. If you're enrolled in monthly plans, the tuition is processed on 25th of each month for the following month.

Any class that is missed without prior notice is considered a “no show” and will not be tracked. Missed classes without notice cannot be made up, and no refund or credit will be provided.

For those enrolled in 10-lesson packages (private classes), please inform us before the last two lessons of the package are taught if you wish to discontinue.

Question 5

What should I do if my child needs to miss a class?

Accepted Answer

If your child needs to miss a class, please email the studio 48 hours prior to the scheduled class. This allows us to schedule a makeup class on Saturday at 10:00 AM, preferably during the same week. Please note that all makeup classes are held exclusively at the Los Altos location.

Question 6

How many makeup classes are allowed, and how are they scheduled?

Accepted Answer

Each student is allowed a maximum of five (5) makeup classes per year, including absences due to illness. Makeup classes are available only on Saturdays at 10:00 AM and 12:00pm. Reservations must be made at least one day in advance. Walk-ins or same-day requests will not be accepted.

If a student misses a scheduled makeup class, it cannot be rescheduled, and it is considered used. We appreciate your understanding as we strive to maintain an organized schedule for all students.

Question 7

Are there limitations or changes for makeup classes?

Accepted Answer

Yes, please be aware that:
Makeup classes may be with a different teacher or in a different group.
Saturday students in regular classes can attend back-to-back sessions (e.g., Picasso class at 10:00 AM Sat followed by another session at 11:00 AM).
Makeup slots may fill up quickly, especially near the semester's end, so early booking is recommended.

Question 13

Why the number of classes per month varies in a monthly plan?

Accepted Answer

The reason you see different number of sessions when paying monthly is because some months are 5 weeks and some months are 4 weeks. Also, depending on national / local holidays, the number of classes can vary by month.

As you can see from this calendar, it is a plan that allows you to take 4 classes per month overall.

Question 14

Is there a sibling discount?

Accepted Answer

1. If registering for ballet and art classes at the same time: You must pay the first one-time registration fee of $100 separately.

2. Sibling: The first registration fee of $100 must be paid separately, and a 5% discount is given from the second child onwards.

3. When a family has more than one child enrolled, a discount is applied to the class with the lower tuition fees. For families with three or more children, the discount applies to all but the class with the highest tuition fees. The discount rate is set at 5%.
