Breaking Down Barriers in Massage Therapy Education

Pursuing a fulfilling new career shouldn't require you to put your current life on hold. At St. Moritz Massage School, we understand that every aspiring massage therapist's journey is unique. That’s why, drawing upon our years of experience in massage therapy education, we've intentionally designed our programs with unprecedented flexibility at their core. Our innovative approach to massage therapy education, featuring new classes starting approximately every six weeks, is truly transforming how future massage professionals can achieve their career dreams while effectively maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

Traditional education models often present a rigid choice: postpone your aspirations or sacrifice your current responsibilities. At St. Moritz Massage School, we firmly believe in breaking down these outdated barriers. Our unique and thoughtfully designed scheduling system, offering frequent new start dates approximately every six weeks, definitively ensures that you don't have to endure lengthy waits of months or even a year to finally begin your rewarding journey toward becoming a state-licensed massage therapist.

Flexible Programs Expertly Designed to Fit Your Life

The cornerstone of our educational philosophy at St. Moritz is a deep understanding that life commitments don't simply pause while you are actively pursuing your professional dreams. To comprehensively accommodate a diverse range of lifestyles, prior commitments, and individual learning preferences, we proudly offer two distinct, expertly structured program options:

Full-Time Program (24 Weeks): Accelerated Career Path

Our immersive full-time program provides an accelerated and highly focused learning experience that efficiently fast-tracks your journey to becoming a licensed and practicing massage therapist. Taught by our team of experienced and [Optional: Mention specific instructor credentials or years of experience if readily available] instructors, the full-time program includes:

• Weekday classes are conveniently scheduled from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
• Balanced and restorative lunch break thoughtfully scheduled from 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM
• Comprehensive and engaging instruction meticulously blends essential theoretical knowledge with intensive hands-on practical practice
• Valuable clinical experience opportunities thoughtfully integrated into the program, beginning as early as week 6, providing real-world application of learned skills.

Part-Time Program (48 Weeks): Maximum Schedule Flexibility

Our highly flexible part-time program option is specifically designed to offer maximum scheduling accommodation, providing two distinct schedule tracks to choose from:

• Morning Track: Convenient morning classes scheduled from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM
• Afternoon Track: Convenient afternoon classes scheduled from 1:30 PM to 5:00 PM

Clinical experience, a crucial component of our comprehensive curriculum, begins at week 12 of the part-time program. This thoughtful integration allows part-time students ample time to effectively apply their foundational classroom knowledge and newly acquired massage techniques in real-world, supervised healthcare settings, building confidence and practical skills.

This thoughtfully designed dual-track program structure definitively ensures that regardless of your existing schedule constraints, prior commitments, or individual learning pace, there is a clear and accessible path forward for you to pursue and achieve your professional massage therapy education goals at St. Moritz. Whether you are a dedicated parent skillfully managing childcare responsibilities, a working professional intentionally transitioning careers to the fulfilling field of massage therapy, or an individual responsibly juggling multiple life commitments, our flexible program structure is specifically designed to effectively accommodate your unique circumstances and empower you to succeed.

Clinical Experience That Seamlessly Works With Your Schedule

Starting from week 6 of the full-time program (and week 12 of the part-time program), all St. Moritz students actively participate in one to three essential clinical shifts per week, with at least one clinical shift strategically scheduled on weekends for maximum flexibility. This invaluable practical clinical experience component is absolutely crucial for effectively developing the hands-on confidence, essential client interaction skills, and refined massage techniques needed for a truly successful and rewarding career in professional massage therapy practice. The intentional weekend scheduling of clinical shifts thoughtfully ensures that even students who are actively working part-time or full-time jobs can readily gain this essential real-world experience without unnecessarily disrupting their existing weekday work or personal commitments.

The Power of Pause: Supportive Leave of Absence Policy

At St. Moritz Massage School, we genuinely recognize that life is inherently unpredictable and that unexpected challenges and personal circumstances can arise for any student during their educational journey. To thoughtfully support our valued students during these potentially challenging times, St. Moritz proudly offers a clearly defined and supportive Formal Leave of Absence option. Under this student-centric policy:

• Students in good standing are eligible to formally request one Leave of Absence during their enrolled program, providing crucial flexibility during unforeseen life events.
• All successfully completed coursework and earned academic credits are fully preserved during the Leave of Absence period, ensuring no loss of academic progress.
• A seamless and supportive transition process back into the enrolled program is thoughtfully facilitated upon the student’s return, minimizing disruption and maximizing academic continuity.
• Students can confidently resume their massage therapy studies at St. Moritz without fear of losing previously achieved academic progress or incurring unnecessary delays in their educational timeline.
