CLASS SCHEDULE

At the River Valley School of Massage, we understand that a preset course schedule can be crucial to a student who can’t attend on a full time basis.  The River Valley School of Massage is one of the only massage therapy schools in the state to offer flexible” course attendance.  A student may enroll and start at anytime throughout the year (availability permitting), and attend at his/her pace over the next few months.  Curriculum will be rotated from week to week to complete a full course every four months.  A student must have all required hours in each of the curriculum areas in order to receive a diploma.  This means that if a student misses the week of Anatomy, he/she may have to wait 5 to 6 weeks before Anatomy is reviewed again.  River Valley School of Massage provides adequate schooling hours to complete a 500-hour course in four months.  It is highly recommended that students attend on a full time basis to avoid breaks or gaps during his/her course.  The Arkansas State Board of Massage Therapy provides testing for student graduates every three months.  A student should set his/her goal to finish a course in time to take the next available state board test.  Examples of course completion schedules are as follows:

Text Box: To finish in:         A student must average:

 4 months             29 hours or 3.5 days / wk
 5 months                24 hours or 3 days / wk
6 months            19 hours or 2.5 days / wk
