In order to keep our students, staff, and teachers safe, we have implemented the Family Safety Plan in our academy! This includes full-time office staff so that students and teachers are never left unsupervised, requiring extensive background checks of all of our teachers and staff, security cameras in all rooms, and an open-door policy for parents, which means that they’re always invited to sit in on their child’s lessons.

Office Staff

At the academy, we require office staff to be present during lessons. Many other music academies have tight budgets and cannot afford the extra expense of employing office staff. This means that a student and a teacher might be unsupervised together in a lesson at 7:00 at night. In our opinion, this is not a safe practice and is irresponsible on the part of the academy. Our academy always has office staff present so that students are never left alone with teachers.

Background Checks

We require that teachers and staff members undergo extensive background checks. Our teachers are required to pass a Criminal record and a Vulnerable sector check. We view this as a necessary measure to preserve the safety and integrity of our academy.

Security Cameras

The safety of our students is our top priority, so we have security cameras in every single room. The precautionary program may be costly to the academy, but such a feature is worth it if it keeps our students safe and gives the parents peace of mind.

Open-Door Policy

Our school has an open-door policy for parents, inviting them to sit in on their child’s lessons. Families look for this when selecting an appropriate music school for their students.
