CENTER FOR EXCELLENCE
Welcome
to Hutchison’s Center for Excellence 2018-2019 In 2004, Hutchison had the vision to open its doors to the greater Memphis community by offering classes through its newly launched arts academy. Since that time, more than 20,000 students ages two through adult have participated in the arts academy in workshops, year-long classes, master classes, events, service learning through the arts, and private instruction with professional artists and arts organizations on Hutchison’s campus. In 2007, the Mary Miles Loveless Arts Academy was expanded into the Annette C. Smith Center for Excellence. Through the Center, Hutchison shares its tradition of excellence through offerings in academics, arts, athletics, education, and leadership. Instructors in each of the Center’s academies not only inspire budding artists, athletes, scholars, and leaders but also engage educators and parents in thought-provoking classes and lectures. Each year we host more than 10,000 participants in Center programming. We invite you to join our learning community.

For schools This family-friendly musical is a celebration of music in all forms. Fast paced and filled with show-stopping numbers, the play opens with the narrator finding an old book, picking it up, blowing off the dust, and starting to read. The story she relates is of a young dreamer, a man named Joseph—the same Joseph whose story is told in the Book of Genesis. Joseph is Jacob’s favorite son, and to show everyone that he is pleased with him, Jacob gives Joseph a splendid multi-colored coat. However, this coat, along with Joseph’s talk of dreams, arouse the jealousy of the other 11. They decide to sell their brother as a slave. After being raised up from a slave to Pharaoh’s second in command, Joseph’s brothers arrive in Egypt begging for food due to a famine. Joseph sees that his brothers have changed and the family reunites. Finally, Jacob is brought to Egypt to join his family and to see his beloved son at last.

NOISES OFF MATINEE
For schools Performed by Hutchison’s upper school girls. This classic comedy is considered one of the great comedic modern farces. Act One is set at the technical rehearsal at the (fictional) Grand Theatre; it is midnight, the night before the first performance, and the cast are hopelessly unready. Act Two shows a Wednesday matinee performance one month later. The play is seen from backstage this time, providing a view that emphasizes the deteriorating relationships between the cast. In Act Three, we see a performance near the end of the ten-week run. Relationships between the cast have soured considerably, the set is breaking down, and props are winding up in the wrong hands, on the floor, and in the way.

Go to the Center for Excellence home page, cfe.hutchisonschool.org, in your browser. 2. Click on the Registration link at the top of the page. 3. On the login page, click the appropriate link to create a new family profile or log into an existing family profile. 4. If you are creating a profile, once you complete the profile information, you will receive a temporary password by email. Use that password to reset to a permanent password in the My Account section of your parent dashboard. 5. Now you are all set to enroll! Use the Enrollment tab to see available camps and workshops. Select all events for which you wish to enroll, scroll to the bottom of the page, and proceed to checkout. Once a registration has been received and processed, a confirmation will be emailed to the address listed in the registration profile. Please note that registrations are not accepted without the appropriate payment. Payment and fees: Center for Excellence fees include all activities and supplies unless otherwise noted. Payments for Center for Excellence sessions are due in full at the time of registration. We accept VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Discover Card, and echecks through the online system.
Center for Excellence General Information Admission is granted to qualified students in the order in which completed registration forms with payments/deposits are received. Hutchison welcomes qualified students of any race, color, religion, or ethnic origin to program activities. Registration is required for each Center for Excellence offering. Sessions are filled on a first-come basis. Please enroll early. Any registrations received after a class that has reached capacity will be returned with a full refund.

Refund Policy:
Center for Excellence fees are refunded in full when the session for which an enrollment was submitted is at capacity or the session is cancelled by Hutchison. Except in the cases of illness or emergency that are disclosed to the Center for Excellence office prior to the start of an activity, refunds will not be given after a session begins. For Center for Excellence classes, a withdrawal request that occurs at least five (5) business days prior to the first class meeting will result in a refund/credit of fees. After five (5) days prior to the first class meeting, there will be no refund of fees.
Transportation and Supervision:
Students should arrive on time and be picked up promptly at the end of each class. For the safety and security of all participants, girls and boys left unsupervised on campus after sessions will be escorted to SPARK Extended Care. Parents will be charged $15 each day. An additional charge of $5 each minute will be assessed for all SPARK campers remaining on campus after 6:05 pm.
Attendance:
Hutchison will not contact parents when a student is not in attendance. No refunds will be given for students who choose not to attend classes or activities.
Discontinuation:
Students are expected to adhere to the policies and procedures of the school, as well as the Center for Excellence program. Hutchison reserves the right to dismiss any student whose behavior poses a discipline problem. No refunds will be issued for students who are asked to withdraw.
Personal Items:
Hutchison is not responsible for lost or stolen property. Students should not bring valuable items. All personal items should be clearly marked with the student’s name.
Location:
Hutchison is conveniently located on a 52-acre naturally wooded campus in East Memphis at 1740 Ridgeway Road. Campus maps may be obtained at the front gate. The Center for Excellence office is located on the first floor in the Dobbs Center.
