Studio Food Allergy & Policies

Edgemoor Art Studio , Inc. is a peanut/tree nut free school and snacks are provided by program staff. Students/campers bring their own clearly labeled refillable water bottle.

All student online enrollment forms and payment authorizations are required to be updated annually in our Parent Portal, prior to each new studio school-year, in order to attend classes. Thank you.

We offer a school-year program September – June!

Tuition is based on a 36 week school year and is divided into 10 equal monthly installments, however, you may enroll at anytime during the school year. Registration and the first month’s tuition are due at registration. A child/teen enrolling in our art program is considered enrolled for the school year. Monthly payments are equal each month, regardless whether some months have 2, 3, 4. or 5 weeks or are shortened due to planned school breaks or holidays. The yearly amount is simply spread across 10 monthly installments. Tuition includes all instruction, materials, and snacks at each class. Holidays are factored into yearly tuition cost.

Please note our studio yearly schedule on the “Schedule” page on this site.

We ask that you please do your best to make all the classes, but we do understand that sometimes other circumstances happen. Make up classes are not guaranteed, but we strive to accommodate families when a child is unable to attend due to sickness or other emergency. Make-up classes cannot be carried over from one session to another semester. If your child is unable to attend his/her class, please try to give us 24 hours notice. Please note:
