With small class sizes, phenomenal instructors, and an exciting curriculum, Flint School of Therapeutic Massage is your smart choice when you’re ready for a new career.
We’ve offered the most cost-effective seven-month program in the state since 1997 and continue to be the facility of choice for quality massage education. Our program caters to a variety of residents.
Students are expected to come to every class PREPARED. This means reading the appropriate chapters and assignments BEFORE coming to class. The instructor reserves the right to give a pop quiz at any time during the semester. Homework is due at the beginning to the 2nd day of class each week. No homework will be accepted after 12:00 (noon) for grading. If your homework is not turned in after 5 weeks, you will receive a NC (Not Complete). Tuition must be paid ON TIME per your arranged payment schedule. Students will not be allowed to take mid-term, 2nd or final exams if behind on tuition. Tuition must be PAID IN FULL to take the final exam and certificate to be issued. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS.
If the student is placed on academic probation for poor performance, he/she must bring his/her overall average grade to 75% within a period of no more than 30 days. The student must then maintain this level of performance thereafter. If said criteria are not met within the 30 days, the student may drop and complete the course the following semester. Tuition must be paid in full before the return date, or they cannot complete the course. If the student does not meet this standard, they will forfeit their certification and still be responsible for tuition balance.
