Missed Classes

Since Fusion is a full-year program, there are sometimes weather cancellations or sick days. If class is cancelled, we will send out an email and give parents as much notice as possible. We do not refund class fees on a class-by-class basis. Instead, we guarantee our kids 25 classes during the year. If cancellations reach that point, then we will send out refunds to the parents for all missed classes.

Class Minimum

Programs are subject to cancellation if the minimum number of registrants is not reached. In this case, a full refund (or an account credit) will be issued including membership and administration fees. We inform registering students as soon as possible when we have canceled a program.

Public Health Recommendations

Classes are subject to change in keeping with the latest Public Health recommendations. If anything about your class changes, you will be notified as soon as possible.
