Terms & Conditions
1. Enrollment and Fees
-
In order to fully experience the benefits of the curriculum and maintain consistency for all students, students are expected to remain enrolled in the Academy until the end of each academic year (September to August). Students are automatically promoted to the next level unless the Academy deems alternative arrangements more suitable.
-
All payments must be paid in full by the first day of each calendar month.
-
In the event of a withdrawal, one month’s written notice must be given. The Academy reserves the right to charge the following month's tuition fee in full if insufficient notice is provided.
2. Absences and Cancellations
-
To ensure the fair use of our system while remaining understanding of our students' needs, students may cancel a maximum of two lessons each month for valid reasons supported by proof (e.g., medical certificates, school competition notices, or other proofs related to unavoidable personal matters). In such cases, the tuition fee will be credited toward the next month's lessons. If no supporting documentation is provided, the tuition fee for the missed lesson will be forfeited. No refund requests will be considered in these instances.
-
No makeup lessons will be provided to ensure that classes do not exceed their maximum enrollment capacity.
-
In the event that a teacher is unable to conduct a lesson, a full refund for that specific lesson will be issued.

In the event of inclement weather (e.g., Typhoon Signal No. 8 or higher, or a Red/Black Rainstorm Warning Signal is hoisted), all lessons will be suspended for the day.
-
If whole-day schools across Hong Kong are suspended by the Education Bureau on that day, lessons at the Academy will also be suspended.
4. Classroom Conduct and Safety
-
All students are expected to behave appropriately and show respect to all staff and fellow students. Basic manners and social norms must be strictly observed. All forms of physical violence, bullying, or verbal abuse are strictly forbidden.
