FAQ’s

Welcome to the Shaarei Arazim After School Program for boys!

The classes are geared for motivated 8 to 14* year old boys, beginner, intermediate and advanced levels, and where applicable, performance levels as well. Please note that each class level is generally associated with the number of semesters that your child has attended. If your child has not mastered the specific skills associated with his previous class level, the instructor may suggest that he retake that class. For all students who are new to our After School Program, but are NOT beginners to that particular elective, please pay attention to the brief summary attached to each elective to know what level class your child should attend.

*Starting November 10, there will be a Motzei Shabbos Program offered for the boys ages 12 & up.

Got Questions?

Can my child join the program if the semester has already started? Will I be charged full price?

He can join the program if there’s a slot available. Contact the office for a coupon code to deduct the unattended classes.

No, the make-up classes take place only if were cancelled by Shaarei Arazim (weather conditions, etc.)

Do I get refund if my son changed his mind?

The refund can be issued only after the first class. Later than that you can try switching to a different elective. Check availability with the office.

Do I get a discount if my child attends the program more than one time a week?

The discount is applicable only for the same elective. For instance, it may be Gymnastics twice a week, and not Arts and Drums once a week each.

Can I pay in parts?

The payment must be submitted in full, but our payment system (PayPal) offers PayPal Credit allowing you to pay off within 6 months with 0% interest. You might need to set up your credit account with PayPal first.

Didn’t find the answer?

I don't have the words to convey my boundless gratitude for this beautiful program you provided for my son.  This was not only the highlight of the week but literally his lifeline.   I want you to know this is not an extra curricular program.  This is truly a life altering life saving program.  Additionally, you delivered it in a most professional manner and on such a high standard. I wish much Hatzlocha and Nachas.  I will forever be grateful for this vital program you provided so generously and with such affordable prices.  Thank you so much for your service and consideration.

Thank you so much for this wonderful program. My son gained so much from being able to be on a stage performing. He is able to play so nicely on his keyboard at home and enjoys teaching his brothers and sister his new skills.
