Scheduling Policy

 The Stewart Music Studio runs on a two-session schedule each year: School Year and Summer.

 

SCHOOL YEAR SESSION

Monday, August 5th, 2024 through Thursday, May 25, 2025

School year tuition is based on one lesson a week with weeks off already factored into the tuition rate. 

These off weeks are:

LABOR DAY WEEKEND: Thursday August 30th, 2024 through Monday, September 2nd, 2024

THANKSGIVING BREAK: Monday, November 25th, 2024 through Sunday, December 1st, 2024

CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR’S BREAK: Friday, December 20th, 2024 through Monday, January 6th, 2025

EASTER AND SPRING BREAK: Saturday, April 12th, 2025 through Sunday, April 20th, 2025


SUMMER SESSION

Monday, June 2nd, 2025 and Sunday, July 26th, 2025

The summer provides a wonderfully productive time for special projects because double lessons and/or closely scheduled lessons offer continuity and intensity that is not always possible during the school year. Lessons in the summer can be creatively scheduled in order to fit around summer plans such as two lessons in a week or "doubling up" on time.  Summer Session is based on a minimum of 8 lessons, which can be scheduled however it fits best between the students and teachers. No lessons are scheduled on July 4th. A copy of the availability calendar is due to the teacher no later than May 10, 2025. After this date, the ability to schedule summer lessons will be based on the teacher’s availability. A final summer schedule for each student will be sent out by May 20, 2025. Students who take lessons during the Summer Session will have priority schedule preferences for the School Year Session.

This policy helps ensure the Stewart Music Studio retains high-quality faculty and keep tuition rates low.
