Group Classes We encourage all families to register early for your recommended group class to secure your spot and then contact the program manager or director to inquire about schedule changes. Your program director can help determine if there’s availability during another class time that works better for your schedule or if your child should be placed in a different class due to skill level. Private Lessons When registering for Merit’s private lessons, keep in mind that enrollments span the full academic year: fall and spring semesters. If needed, day, time, and length changes can be made to your private lesson package at any time. If you wish to change the length of your lesson, you must submit this request in writing to the Student Services Department. Lessons can only be cancelled during the drop/add window between semesters.
