Why do I have to commit to the whole year and pay for it even if I drop out? |

Once again, we require that you seriously consider whether or not your children should be involved in the Master's Academy of Fine Arts each year. We consider the arts to be of great value and importance, on a par with all other academic subjects and sports programs. Most parents would never consider pulling their children out of a Spanish program, or a sports program mid-year because they find those programs to be essential to their child's education. We want you to know up front that we consider the arts to be essential to your child's education as well and hope that you will give this program the serious commitment it deserves.
We know that there are often extenuating circumstances which cause you to have to leave the program so for that reason we have noted several exceptions to this policy:
- Family moving more then 50 miles from the current MAFA location ( if another MAFA exists in the area to which you are moving, you may transfer your enrollment to the new location.)
- Death or unemployment of parent
NO exceptions are made for children who are tired of the program, have re-enrolled in school, or who find the work too challenging. Children may decide not to attend for those reasons, but the parents are still held liable for the tuition. We are under commitment to our staff to pay the salaries we agreed to pay them, which are based on the number of students enrolled. Since we don't routinely add students throughout the year, when students drop out we simply don't have the funding to pay the staff as we had agreed. |
