Absences/ Make-ups

Contact Excellerate Learning Academy if you know you or your children will be absent.  We are happy to schedule make-up classes, if available.  Make-up classes will need to be completed within the Academic Year. Unused make-up classes will not carry over into another Academic Year. Once a make-up is scheduled, it is considered made up unless an additional 24-hour notice of change is given. If a make-up session is not available, we can instead provide a credit to your account.

 

Flexible Options for Make-ups:

We have a few options to consider when scheduling a make-up. You can schedule for another day or time in the same language, or try a class in another language. Your primary commitment is to your enrolled language, but students can always benefit from exposure to another language.

 

Flexible Schedule Options:

If you are unable to continue with your current schedule for any reason, you may request to transfer to another class if space is available.
