TUITION
How Fees Work
Quoted per Program
Tuition depends on the program, class hours and your child's level. Book a free trial class and placement test, and a program advisor will explain the full costs.
Fully Itemized Receipts
As required by law, payment receipts list the school's name, address, registration number, course period, fee items, the amount of each item, and the refund policy.
Materials Fees Fully Refundable
Materials and service fees are refunded in full upon withdrawal; if items have already been purchased on your behalf, those items will be given to you instead.
REFUND SCHEDULE

If a student withdraws after paying, refunds are issued based on the timing below (Article 15 of the Ordinance):
