Registration
Please contact the Belmont Academy Office to be assigned an instructor BEFORE completing registration.
The Academy Director places students with available instructors. Individual lesson times are scheduled by the instructor, and every effort will be made to find mutually agreeable lesson times. Once a student is assigned to an instructor, registration forms and fees can be submitted directly to the Academy office. Registration forms and payment are due on, or before, the first lesson, and must be completed each semester.
