VISION
Getting the Most Out ofYour Experience
Making the most of your arts investment is an important goal. To assist you in doing so, we encourage the following:
l. Meet your child's teacher and develop a rapport. Build a partnership that leads to lasting success for your student.
2. Demonstrate a positive attitude about their arts education. If you value it, they will too.
3. Help your child prepare. Make sure they practice and set time aside to prepare each week. Growth requires discipline. The arts provide a perfect training ground for developing this essential life skill.
4. Ask for help if you think your child may need it. Every child learns differently. You know more about your child then your teacher does. Let the teacher know your concerns.
If you feel that the class or teacher are not the right fit, we urge you to follow the steps as outlined below.
l. You or your child attend at least threeclasses as a full participant.
2. As a parent, you observe at least one class.
3. You attempt weekly communication with your child's teacher about the class, its objectives, and how to make the most of the class for you and your child.
4. After those prerequisites have been met and you still are concerned about you or your child's progress, you may request a meeting with the teacher, department director (as applies) and the CEO. After that conversation, the student may be requested to join to give them a chance to detail their concerns.
To access our Summer 2026 registration and refund policies, visit www.fineartsassociation.org/education/summer-at-faa/
We hope that these opportunities to discover and communicate lead to the best possible outcomes for you, your child, and the teacher.
