1 – Philosophy of Aux Petits Soins
Our goal is to introduce you to French the same way that you were introduced to your native language — by immersing you in a completely French-speaking environment. Building on principles of multiple interactive teaching models, we’ve developed our own three-step method of foreign language education: Listen. Absorb. Speak.™ Every individual and group class is taught entirely in French by a native speaker and structured to ensure that even beginners to language learning can pick up words and concepts quickly. The APS Ensemble™ program blends immersive French language classes with social activities, designed for adults who want to 1) begin learning French, 2) enhance their grammar, phonetic, and conversational skills, or 3) refine their fluency while delving deeper into French culture.
1-1 I understand and agree to support the Philosophy of Aux Petits Soins, LLC ™.
2 – Enrollment form
2-1 I understand that enrollment in Ensemble programs consists of a commitment to a full 4 to 9-week session for group classes.
2-2 I understand that I have the following options to receive a refund:
• New students, defined as someone who have never been enrolled in any program at Aux Petits Soins, is eligible for a refund only if they withdraw before the third class.
• Current students can opt for the Flex Option, which allows them to quit at any time and receive a refund.
3 – Tuition and fees
3-1 I understand that the first tuition payment is due within 72 hours of enrollment.
3-2 I understand that I can pay either by session or for the entire year.
3-3 I understand that all sales are final unless I choose the Flex Option.
3-4 I understand that I can also pay using an installment payment plan.
3-5 I understand that invoices for late payment fees or returned check fees will be issued monthly and will be due upon receipt.

5 – Returned check fee
5-1 I agree to pay the $30 bank fee assessed for any returned checks.
6 – Missed classes
6-1 Due to COVID-19, we will offer one class per week per level. I understand that I may make up any private missed class provided if I give a 12-hour notice before the scheduled class time. Group classes will not be reimbursed and private missed classes without prior notification cannot be rescheduled.
7 – Canceled classes
7-1 I understand that a minimum of two students is considered a quorum for a group class and six students for a special function (e.g. cultural event). Students will receive a full refund if a class/event is canceled.
7-2 I understand that in-person private and group classes can be canceled for weather-related issues or in-person/virtual classes can be canceled for extenuating circumstances that would prevent the instructor from being able to teach. Canceled group classes cannot be reimbursed/rescheduled. Canceled private classes can be rescheduled.
8 – Refund policy
8-1 I understand that if I’m a new student, I can drop out of the program within the first two weeks of the first class with no questions asked. If I’m a current/returning student, I must be enrolled in a program with the Flex Option to be eligible for a refund.
8-2 I understand that I will be refunded for the remaining classes. Please note, processing fees are not refunded and if there was a promotional price, you will be refunded based on the full price .
8-3 To drop the program, I agree to 1) fill out the “Membership Drop Form” online or in-person during business hours at least three business days prior the next class, and 2) be current on all fees against my account.
8-4 If I drop out without notice, I understand that I will be charged for the remaining classes of the session.
