Is this an all day program?

IPHG offers a la carte classes on Thursday. These classes are in various subjects and for various age groups. Students have class during the time slot specified for each class. Students are welcome to take multiple classes, but each class must be enrolled in independently. Students are welcome to stay for lunch (brought from home; 11:45am-12:15pm) if they have a class right before lunch time. Students are welcome to come early for lunch if they have a class right after lunch time. If a student stays for lunch but does not have a course after lunch, they must be picked up promptly at 12:15.​

age 10-14.

​

Is there a cancellation policy?

We keep our classes small to enhance learning outcomes. Because of this, it is important that our classes are filled up with students that are committed to the class.  If you have questions about a class, please contact us prior to signing up to make sure the class will meet your expectations.
 

Classes can ONLY be dropped within the first two weeks of the semester. 

​

There is a $65 fee if dropped within the first week of class.
There is an $80 fee if dropped within the second week of class.
The remaining balance after dropping will be refunded.

Classes CANNOT be dropped after the second week of scheduled classes. After the second week of scheduled classes no refund will be given. 

​

IPHG reserves the right to cancel any class. In the event a class is canceled before beginning, a full refund will be given. In the event IPHG cancels a class after the class has begun, a prorated refund will be given.

​

What happens if a teacher is sick?​ 

In the event that a teacher is sick, IPHG will attempt to find a substitute for the class. If a substitute cannot be found, or if the class is highly specialized to the point that a substitute would compromise the quality of instruction, class will be canceled and a refund for the canceled class will be given.​
