Refunds & Cancellations

Clear, fair, and kid-first. No memberships, no surprises — you only pay for the classes you choose.

Quick summary

*Refund method may vary for Education Savings Accounts (ESA) based on state processor rules.

Standard classes (live, small-group)

  • Before first live meeting: Full refund to the original payment method (or ESA per processor rules).
  • After first meeting: Full refund if the class isn’t a fit. If there’s a time conflict and you paid in full, we’ll refund the remaining balance.
  • Teacher cancels or no class delivered: Full refund — our treat.

Teacher cancellations

  • If an educator cancels a session or course, you’ll receive a full refund.

What if a class is rescheduled?

  • If the new time doesn’t work, you can choose a full refund.

Processing times

  • Card refunds: typically 3–10 business days (bank dependent).
  • ESA refunds: timing depends on the state vendor system and processor.

ESA payments

  • We’ll follow the rules of your ESA program (ClassWallet, Odyssey, SFE, etc.).

Abuse & safety

  • To protect families and educators, we may deny refunds for misuse, repeated no-shows, or policy violations.
