YOUTH CLASS POLICIES

Youth class enrollment is for a full session. In some instances an exception may be made to accept a student during the course of an already in-progress session, please contact the front desk to inquire. An enrollment is for ONE child attending one specific class each week.

No make-up credits. No refunds.

TRIAL CLASSES

Students wishing to try a single date of a class prior to enrolling for the session can contact youth@circuscenter.org to request pricing and availability for a trial class.

MAKE UP CLASSES

There are no make-ups for classes that the student misses for any reason. If Circus Center has to cancel a date of a class, the student will receive a pro-rated refund.

MEDICAL WITHDRAWAL

If a medical situation arises which will prevent the student from participating for the remainder of a Youth Class Session, Circus Center will credit 50% of the remaining pro-rated tuition to the student's Circus Center account for future use. We cannot credit any classes that occurred prior to being notified in writing that the child will withdraw. A medical doctor's note is required for medical withdrawal, but can be received after Circus Center is initially notified of the withdrawal.

TUITION ASSISTANCE

We currently provide need-based financial aid for youth circus classes.  All financial aid applications must be submitted and processed in advance of registering for classes. Any registration payments or purchases made before your complete application has been processed are ineligible for aid. To learn more about this program or to apply, please go to http://circuscenter.org/tuition-assistance.

DISCOUNTS

No “stacking” of discounts or promotions. Only one discount or promotion can be applied to a purchase. 

Discounts cannot be applied to enrollments purchased using certificates from schools, libraries, or other charity events.

LATE ARRIVAL AND LATE PICK-UP POLICIES

Students arriving late to class will be admitted, but may be restricted from participating in some activities for safety reasons.

Students must be picked up by a legal guardian immediately upon the conclusion of the class. After a 5 minute grace period, Circus Center reserves the right to charge a $10 late fee for each 5 minutes that the student remains onsite without a guardian.

RECEIPT REQUESTS FOR REIMBURSEMENT PURPOSES

If our standard receipts will not work for your needs, we will make every effort to provide the type of receipt you request. Please submit via email all the specific details and information required on the receipt, and we will respond within 10 days with a suitable receipt. If that receipt does not work for you and we included all of your requested details, we reserve the right to charge a $25 administrative fee to process a second receipt.

COVID SAFETY

Circus Center is required to comply with all San Francisco Health Orders.  Circus Center reserves the right to make choices about masking to ensure the safety of our community and the functionality of our organization.  Therefore, masking may or may not be required throughout the session depending on the status of covid transmission.  Refunds will NOT be issued to students who are unhappy about the masking policy.
