Aquinas High School located at 2801 SW 12th St., Ft. Lauderdale

ages from oungest to oldest running from 1-9 pm with
preschool/elementary ages in the afternoon and middle/high school in
the evening. Siblings can be accommodated in the same seating and

only focus on particular teachers & instruments, the Grand Recital
includes all instructors & instruments. Participation is only open to
current JK customers in good standing. Students must also have JK
teacher's approval to participate as performance space & time slots
are limited. In addition, there is much more room to accommodate
additional family & friends than for in-house recitals. The ticket cost is

Each ticket will be entered into a raffle for a free week of summer
camp! There is no cost for performers. Attire is semiformal.

for Sunday June 9. Please reschedule your lessons on this day.
There is no rescheduling fee.
Our 11 week Summer Session begins on Mon. June 17 until Sun. Sept. 1.
We will only be closed on Thurs. July 4th. We will also be closed on
Sundays beginning June 23 until Aug. 17 during summer camp unless
there is sufficient enrollment to remain open on that day. We will
reopen on Sundays beginning Aug. 25. All lessons before 3:30 on
weekdays (mon. - fri.) from June 10 - Aug. 16 MUST be moved to an
alternative time due to summer camp. Thank you for your
cooperation. Our 16 week Fall Session begins on Mon. Sept. 2 and ends
on Sun. Dec. 22.
Any schedule changes MUST be emailed to us in writing & also
remember that any & all make-ups must occur within the current
Spring Session and are not carried over into the next Summer Session. If
you are having difficulty scheduling a make up with your regular

instructors as a substitute.
Lessons can always be rescheduled with 24 notice, however please
remember that there is a $5 re-scheduling fee for any & all lessons not
occurring at their regular time.
Auto payment customers who will be travelling during our summer

extensive, JK offers a Fall Deposit Program (see details below). If you
wish to return to the same teachers and times in the Fall Session, lock in
your spots with a $50 deposit before the summer. Customers using
those spots over the summer will then have to find new ones during
the Fall Session.

5. VERITAS BAND STUDENTS
If you ask your school band
teacher, they will most
likely tell you NOT to stop
playing all summer so you
don’t lose all the progress
you have made this year on
your instrument! Rather
than returning your
instrument for the summer,
why not send it in for a tune
up if you will be away on
vacation? Maintenance is
free and included in your
rental agreement with
Veritas. JK also has
wonderful wind & brass
teachers who can give you
customized instruction
during the Summer Session
so you are better prepared
for the Fall band season.
They can also help you with
any audition preparation.
