Cancellation and Make-up Policy NVMS has a 2-week cancellation policy to cancel ALL future enrollment for your lessons. If something comes up and you can no longer take lessons with us, we completely understand, however, we would charge for 2 weeks of lessons from the day you give us notice of cancellation. We encourage you to attend these final two lessons, but if you cannot attend, these weeks are still billed to your account.
NVMS cannot cancel individual lessons, even with 2 weeks of notice. For example, if you are going to be out of town for a specific week, or if your child cannot attend lessons on Halloween, we still will charge for the lesson. This policy is in place out of respect for our instructors’ time. We make every effort to keep the instructor’s teaching days booked with as few breaks as possible. If we allowed individual lessons to be canceled, the instructors would not get paid for their time as they waited for their next student.
