I can't attend one session, can I rebook it or can someone attend the class in my place?
No, term class is a commitment for the whole 7 or 8 sessions for only the students signed up.
Are these the only classes happening from February - April 2025? What if I don't get a slot for a term class in my level?
These are not the only classes in our schedule for the first quarter of the year! We will announce the rest of our classes every month, just as we usually do. Rest assured, for almost all of the classes, there will be another open regular class in the schedule for you to attend, in case you are unable to sign up for a full term.
