A child/children can not attend a class unless they are registered and the monthly tuition fee is paid.

The reason for not allowing 1 trial class is that it doesn’t give a fair experience of what the school has to offer. 

We do not allow parents to join their child/children in the class as it is a distraction and  a cause of disturbance for both the students and teacher. 

You are welcome to arrange a meeting with the teacher. Also, the teachers send out the course work covered in the class and assignments.  

For ages 12 and older, there is an online weekly class for one hour.
