Refund Policy

The Lovett School reserves the right to cancel any portion of a summer program in case of unforeseen circumstances. Refunds will be issued.

If a student withdraws two weeks prior to the program start date, a tuition refund will be made, minus a $20 non-refundable processing fee. If a student withdraws fewer than two weeks before the start date, no refund will be made.

In case of withdrawal due to illness, the family and the summer program will share the loss equally. Written notice from a physician may be required before the refund is issued.

FAQ

Q

What is the dress policy?

A

The dress for summer school is casual. Shorts and sandals are acceptable, but bare feet are not. Students taking Urban Experience or Theater Intensive Workshop will receive instructions on appropriate attire from their teachers

Q

What is the attendance policy?

A

In case of illness, please call Mr. Mallet, summer school director, by 8:30 am at (404) 262-3032, ext. 1467. The student must bring a signed note from his/her parent the day following the absence. Because summer school is very concentrated, an absence of one day is the equivalent of missing over a week of the regular school year. Therefore, having more than one absence will result in the withholding of credit for a course.

If there is an emergency situation, parents must contact the summer school director. If a student has more than five late arrivals (after 8:10 am), he/she is in jeopardy of not receiving credit for the course. Doctor’s appointments must be scheduled after school hours.

Make-up work is the student’s responsibility. The student should consult class syllabi, classmates, or the teacher for assignments. If the absence occurs on the day of a scheduled test or quiz or the due date of a written assignment, the student completes that work on the day of return. If the absence occurs the day before the test, the student must take the test as scheduled.

Once a student has arrived on campus, he/she may not leave campus until dismissed by the teacher.

Q

Are summer school classes open to non-Lovett students?

A

Classes are open to students from outside of The Lovett School.

Q

Are there special rules for Field Trips?

A

Students must turn in permission forms, signed by their parents, for selected field trips.
