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

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.
