Attire
So that all the children are dressed consistently, here are a few points to follow.
- Leotard
- Pastel colour, no tutu, no skirt.
- Tights
- With feet, no patterns.
- Wrap top
- Optional.
- Ballet slippers
- Pastel colour, leather or canvas.Single or double elastics, full or split sole.
- Hair
- All students must have their hair pulled back.Short hair: with a headband or clips.Long hair: in a bun. (A kit with everything needed to make a bun is on sale at the school office for Frs. 7.-)
No underwear under the tights. Tights are worn under the leotard, with no underwear. Three layers (underwear, tights, leotard) stop the skin from breathing and restrict movement.
Write your child's first and last name on all their belongings (bag, clothes, ballet slippers) — if something is left behind, it can then easily be returned to its owner.
General conditions
The conditions that govern enrolment and attendance — fees, absences, insurance.
- Enrolment is accepted for a full school year (10 months), i.e. from September to June.
- The management may exceptionally accept enrolments for a minimum of 5 months (September to January, or February to June).
- A student may cancel their enrolment during the school year at the end of the first 5 months (31 January), by registered letter to the management sent before 15 January. No withdrawal, except in cases of force majeure, will be accepted after this date.

- Tuition fees are set on an annual basis and are payable every month.
