Most Fall programs begin in late August or early September. Most Spring programs begin in mid to late January. Some programs have two terms (ex: Fall 1, Fall 2). Programs such as OM, Drama, and sports have elongated terms and will have meeting dates that begin in the Fall and end in Winter or Spring. Please carefully view the specific dates for each program listed in the catalog.

1. If your child will be attending CED after a program ends, we will make sure your child is escorted to the CED classroom.
2. If your child will be picked up after a program ends, please pick up your child inside the Administration building.

A: For Fall 2026…
All cancellations for Fall 2026 Term programs must be made 3 days before program start date.
Unfortunately, once the cancellation deadline passes, we will be unable to offer refunds on any program.
We do not prorate the registration fee for late registrations.
For OM, Drama Club, and Sports
Due to the substantial front-end costs of these programs and logistical planning involved after the first “headcount”, there is a 24-hour cancellation policy for these programs, after the time of registration. Please ensure you and your student are fully committed to the program(s) prior to trying out/registering.
