Tuition Policy:
Tuition is due on the 1st of each month.
A $15 late fee will be applied to accounts not paid by the 7th of the month.
Tuition may be paid by the following methods: cash, money order, check, or credit card (We accept MasterCard, Visa, and Discover).
Checks should be made payable to Monarch Conservatory. Please also include your child’s full name in the memo. There is a $40.00 returned check fee, per check, on all returned checks.
Tuition remains the same regardless of absences and whether it is a long, five- week month or a short, three-week month.
Tuition is per month – not per class!
Discounts and Credits:
A 20% sibling discount is available to any family who has two or more students enrolled. The discount is taken off of the monthly tuition.
Referral credits are available to any family who refers a new student to Monarch. That new student must enroll in a class and attend for at least one full month. The Referral Program will give you $15.00 off of your next month’s tuition.
Class Changes:
When dropping or adding a class at any time during the year you must process the change through the Dance Studio Pro Portal. Accounts will continue to be charged for tuition until you make that change on your student’s account. If you have issues enrolling or dropping a class, please reach out to us for assistance.
Studio Rules:
Students should be dressed and prepared for class before it starts.
Students are encouraged to bring in a refillable bottle of water to have with them in the class room. All other food and drinks must be left in the lobby or with a parent.
Parents should not leave young students unattended in the waiting area before or after class.
Chewing gum is never allowed in the dance studios.
Students and guests are expected to treat the Monarch facility and all students, instructors, and other families on the premises with respect and kindness.
No Bullying Policy:
We do not discriminate against race, religious affiliation, sexual identity, and/or children or families with special needs. We have a zero tolerance policy for comments or behavior, whether in person or online through social media, singling out or making fun of students, families or groups of people.
Bad Weather/ Holiday Closings:
We follow the Blue Springs School District for most Holiday Breaks and Closings; however, there will be some exceptions and variations. The studio will not necessarily close for snow days, regardless if area schools are closed. We make decisions separate from the school district based on road conditions, forecasted weather, and the safety of students and instructors. Weather related closing information will be emailed out top families as well as posted on our social media accounts.
We will always post holiday and break schedules in advance for our families.
