We (student and parent) applied and wish to enroll in this program solely for the purpose of enrichment in the various academic subjects. We understand that all techniques, materials, and printed course materials are the exclusive property of Arrondi Enriched Learning and Consulting, Inc. (“Company”). We agree that we will not disclose, reproduce, or distribute any materials obtained from the Company to third parties without the prior written consent of the Company. When requested, we agree to provide the Company with a copy of the student’s previous school student progress reports and the results from the previous year’s standardized exams.

We fully understand that the Company may, on rare occasions, change course schedules and locations, or cancel a course. The Company will notify us if this occurs and provide make-ups for such cancellations at no extra charge. We understand that when the Company offers a couple of options for the make-up schedule, we must choose from the provided dates and time.

We understand that course size is limited and enrollment is taken on a first-come, first-served basis. Discounts are also on a first-come, first-served basis and are subject to discount deadlines, expiration dates, and availability. The Company may dismiss/cancel any student(s) who has not fully paid by the first day of enrollment or who, in Company opinion, is disruptive. There will be no make-ups for the Company closings due to natural causes, including any life-threatening storms, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, and terrorist attacks. Since the global pandemic, virtual classes are now optional. There will be no make-ups for the Company closings when the internet providers or virtual classroom platforms are down. For private lesson cancellations, you must notify the Company at least seven days prior to the scheduled lesson for any events, notify the Company two days prior to the scheduled lesson for any family related situations, and notify the Company at least a day prior to the schedule lesson for any illnesses fo the student (a doctor’s note may be requested by the Company). When the private lesson is canceled on the day of the lesson, there will be no make-up class and the missed lesson will be counted as a completed lesson.

Full payments for the programs and any trips are due at the time of registration by the deadline. There will be no refund after that and any tuition balance will be automatically charged on the credit card after the payment deadline. There will be no credits or roll-overs. Payments by credit card are subject to a mandatory 4% convenience fee. Any late tuition payments will incur a 4% monthly finance charge (4% of the total including prior late fees). Even if you prefer to pay by check or cash, all payments must be remitted and received at the time of registration or post marked by the deadline. All checks should be made payable to THINK & WRITE. *Again, due to our small, exclusive nature of business structure, there will be no refund after the registration is complete.*
