Winter 2012 Registration Information for returning students

The Winter term starts January 9 and runs for eight weeks.  Students must sign up for a full term unless registering after the term begins.  There is a $25 administration fee if a student withdraws before the term is over.

Returning students will receive a letter in the mail regarding registration for the fall term.  Returning students have until Friday, December 23 to confirm winter participation.  All fees are paid through the receptionist who will issue a receipt upon payment.  We make every effort to meet requests but cannot guarantee the time/teacher preferred.  Please do not notify your teacher.  All scheduling is done through the Music School Coordinator.

Additional Registration Information

For returning students:

• We prefer if ALL FEES for the term should be paid at registration (before classes start).  But at least half the term should be paid before the term begins.  The other half is to be paid by mid-term.  An alternative payment plan can be worked out with the Coordinator at time of registration.
• Returning students may register by mail, hand delivery, email or in person.  No registrations will be accepted over the phone.  All students must complete and sign a registration form for the Music School. 
• If you want to reapply or apply for subsidy, you must provide a copy of your proof of income with the completed registration form.  You also must provide a copy of your proof of address.
•  Please make cheques payable to St. Christopher House.
• All payments are made through the reception at 248 Ossington.  They accept cheques and cash (please have the correct change) and will issue a receipt at time of payment.  They do not know the amount paid nor the amount owed.  This is confidential between the family and the Music School office.
• The Music School office does not take unscheduled appointments.  Please call ahead.
•  You must send in your completed forms, partial payment and other documents by the deadline in order to confirm your lesson space.  If the office doesn't receive the proper completed forms by the deadline your space will be given to a new student.
