FAQs
How many students will there be in the class?
16 students max (10 student minimum)
Will there be food served during class?
Yes. Donuts will be served on dining etiquette night to help teach American vs. Continental styles of dining. If your child has any allergies please let me know on the sign-up sheet.
Will you be teaching any of these programs virtually or host private classes?
Not at this time
Can parents stay and watch the class?
I would prefer the classes be attended by only students as I’ve found behavior and participation changes when parents are present. I will try my best to snap a few photos during class and share them on the business Instagram page- @chasingcivility.
My child participated in your class last fall. Should I sign them up again?
Absolutely! The science experiments and art projects will be similar to last year, but I don’t think we can ever over teach social and emotional skills like these classes offer.
Is there a discount if I have more than one student attending class?
Absolutely. There will be a 20% discount for each additional family member enrolled in a program during the same semester.
What is your cancellation policy?
Deposits will be 100% refunded up to three weeks prior to class. After March 15th, no refunds will be made. Even if there is a waitlist for the class, most students have already committed to other extra-curricular activities and I will not have enough time to run a new marketing campaign to fill the open spots.
