CLASS PLACEMENT / ADVANCEMENT

• Our faculty meets regularly to discuss the students’ progress and placement. Placement is highly individual and the factors that go into the decision are complex. Students will be constantly evaluated throughout the season on their mastery of skills/technique specific to each level in our curriculum. The first few weeks are used for assessment to ensure the proper class and level placement of each child. All decisions regarding class placement are made by the faculty with your child’s best interest in mind. Advancement is based on mastery of skills/technique within each level (most students will spend 1-2 years in each level). Letters containing pre-approved class levels for the following season will be emailed at the culmination of each school year.  Please contact the director if you have questions or concerns about your child’s placement.

​

SUBSTITUTES

• Occasionally a substitute is needed due to a teacher’s professional duties, illness, etc. Whenever possible, substitutes are hired from our existing faculty. When this is impossible, substitute teachers are professional colleagues of the teacher. In either case, substitutes are briefed on the class syllabus, so that the progression of study can go on uninterrupted.
