Policies
Attendance & Cancellation Policy
- Missed Group Classes are non-refundable unless the school cancels the class.
- There are no make up lessons for missed Group Classes
- If the student comes to their class sick or with cold symptoms, they will be asked to leave the class and the instructor will email the homework.
- If the instructor is sick, the class will either be moved to an online class for that week or when possible, another instructor will fill in to teach the class in person. If either option is not available, the class will be rescheduled for another time
- If MSI Langley needs to close at any point during the school year for the safety of our staff and students due to Covid-19, lessons will continue online via Zoom. Tuition will be adjusted accordingly if needed.
MSI Langley reserves the right to cancel any group classes that do not have sufficient enrolment. A full refund will be issued in that case.
Lesson & Holiday Schedule
- The full School Term consists of 35 weeks of lessons scheduled on Mondays and Saturdays, 38 weeks of lessons scheduled on Tuesdays, 39 weeks of lessons scheduled on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays and 37 weeks of lessons scheduled on Sundays.

Withdrawal notice must be given in writing. **Exceptions to this policy will be made if you are moving out of the area, or for compassionate grounds such as a prolonged illness (in this case a doctor’s note will be required.)**
