Some registration FAQs...

 
 
How are groups assigned?
At this stage of enrollment, most groups are general. Some days/locations are marked as "Multiple Groups" where it is likely there will be an older and younger group. As enrollment increases, groups are determined based on ages, group preferences (entered on the student's Enrollsy profile), experience and skill level among other factors. If you have group assignment requests, please include them in the "group preferences" section of the student profile. Instructor schedules are not determined until late-summer. 

What if i need to withdraw early?
Families may withdraw from the program at anytime.  If you intend to withdraw, we ask that you complete the Withdrawal Request Form at least 14 days prior to the first program day or last day of attendance to avoid a withdrawal fee.

For full details about withdrawals, proration, and more, please review our 
Registration Policies.
Can we do a trial day before enrolling?
Our Trial Day Program allows students to try out our program and group placement in the current academic year to make sure it's a good fit for your student and the group they're joining.
  • Complete the trial day application here!
  • Trial days are included in the cost of tuition if your student decides to enroll. ​
  • Trial days are scheduled based on availability.
What is enrollsy? How do I log In?
ENROLLSY is our enrollment platform where families can enroll their students in NL programs, manage tuition payments, and complete/update student profiles.

​CURRENT NATURAL LEADERS FAMILIES who participated in programs with us September 2021-present already have an Enrollsy account and can sign-in. You do not need to create a new account. Please ensure profile data (parent & child is up-to-date).

NEW 2024 PARTICIPANTS: You will need to complete the profile when you click "Enroll Now" to create your Enrollsy account.  If you try to sign-in without completing an account profile, it will say your email is not recognized. Once you have created a profile you will be able to sign in.
