Ready to Register? Here's how.

New Students
New students may join at any time during a term as long as there is a vacancy in your desired class. If a class is full, your name will be placed on a waiting list.  After the Tuition Priority Due Date of each term, the manager will place new students into classes based on the order in which you are on the waiting list. If your child is moved from the waiting list into a current class, payment must be made in full along with a completed registration form and registration fee prior to class attendance.  Tuition will be pro-rated relative to your start date.

Returning New Students

You're very special to us and therefore you only need to call us to get back in class with a current registration on file.  You can register in person only.

Tuition Priority Due Date 
Priority Due Date is the deadline by which Current Students must pay tuition or forfeit their priority over New or Previous Students.

* Tuition Priority Due Date is for Current Students, New Students DO NOT WAIT for Priority Deadline...REGISTER AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE.

Calendar of Sessions: 2007-2008

Payment Specifics

Pay by cash, check, MC, Visa, and Debit. If your check is returned for non-sufficient funds, we charge $35.00. Mail-in registration/payments are preferred, as it allows our office team to process registrations in off-peak hours, helping us to better serve you.

Keep Your Credit Card on File

In order to help you make all of your tuition payments on time, All-American can keep your credit card information on file.  Rest assured that this is a very secure process and only ongoing tuition payments will be charged unless otherwise specified.

$38 Annual Family Registration Fee

This is a yearly, $38 per family fee which is due upon initial registration and on your anniversary date thereafter. This fee defrays our administrative costs and if kept in current status entitles all your immediate family members for discounts on classes, various gymnastics, dance, and swimming camps, Lunch Bunch, Cartwheel Clinics, 2-Hr. Tumblebear Parties, and Back Handspring and Back Tuck Clinics throughout the year.

Second Class and Family Discount!!!
At All-American, only the most expensive tuition in your immediate family pays full fare. All lesser tuitions from your immediate family are discounted 15% and after the fourth class you receive even a bigger discount.  This does not include Gym-N-learn.  No other local dance or gym school gives this large of a family discount.  We LOVE families and want all the kids to be able to attend their favorite classes at Patti’s All-American Because Gym-N-Learn Nursery School and The Swim Connection are separate schools, there is no discount given for those classes. 

100% Tuition-Back Guarantee

If after your first  of classes you are not entirely happy with our programs, we will happily refund 100% of your tuition for the first session (or apply it as credit toward another program).

Please Read to Avoid Getting Closed Out of Class!

Thank you for taking the time to read this document as your understanding and cooperation is necessary in order for us to keep our student /teacher ratio at the proper levels.  The All-American registration procedure is very much like a university tuition procedure, where the responsibility is on the INDIVIDUAL to pay by a certain date in order to maintain priority.  We do this for one reason alone...the students!

Q & A
Q: How often is tuition due?
A: We have six sessions throughout the year, and tuition is due in advance of each session (Priority Deadline). During “Week 4,” we send home a tuition envelope which is a payment reminder. Just include a check, cash, or credit card number in the envelope and bring it to the office or send it to us in the mail.  You can also opt for automatic credit card billing, so you don't have to remember to pay and your child is always a current student. 

Q: What is the PRIORITY DEADLINE?
A: That is the date when tuition is due for current students. Current students MUST pay tuition by this date to be guaranteed their current class spot for the next session (Paying by the priority deadline does not guarantee your new class time in the event you desire a change.  However, it does give you priority over new students). This system exists to prevent overloading classes.

Q: When is the PRIORITY DEADLINE?
A: Two weeks before each session begins (except Fall Session, Session 1, which is due at registration).

Q: “I am a loyal client and was not able to pay tuition by the Priority Deadline and my child’s class spot was filled.  Why didn’t you call me to remind me tuition was overdue?

A: In the past, we would give a “courtesy call” to those who “forgot” to pay on time.  It was a nice idea, however, we found that progressively, more clients began to “forget”, relying on the prod of the courtesy call. As time wore on, calling took more and more time until it became impossibly burdensome, so we stopped and refocused the responsibility on the individual.

Q: Why does Patti's All-American refund over tuition after our first 30 days if we're not pleased?
A: The real value in our programs can only be measured over the long run. However, children learn on their own schedule and we know that if a child is not ready for a particular program now, given time, he is likely to want to try again at some future date. We also know that you will be less hesitant to give it another try if you feel you have not wasted your money the first time.

Q: Do you offer make-ups?

A:  Tuition pays for your child's spot in the class. However, as a courtesy, Patti's All-American offers make-ups when and where it does not interrupt the safety or the quality of class for those children registered in the class. Make up procedures vary from program to program, depending on safety concerns, space, equipment, and teaching ratios.  We do not refund or give credit for missing a class.

       You must call the gym prior to the missed class to qualify for a make-up.  The student must be currently enrolled in class at the time of the scheduled appointment. We allow one make-up per 8-week session.  Once made, it cannot be rescheduled.  The make-up class must be taken during the session missed or the session immediately following.  If your child's class falls on a holiday when the gym is closed, (Labor Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Easter, Memorial Day, and 4th of July), it is your responsibility to schedule your make-up.  Holiday misses do not count toward the one miss per eight-week session.  To schedule a make-up appointment call our office at (219) 865-2274 or stop by the front desk.
