Is it mandatory for parents to register for classes?
Most Philippine ESL schools require parental participation, but our school makes it optional.
If a parent accompanying a junior does not wish to participate in classes, they can stay and pay only the dormitory fee. Parents can monitor their junior's classes or have personal time in the cafeteria or a designated area. If desired, they can register for one or two classes per day.
If they do not choose classes, they do not need to pay for the SSP, SSP I-Card, student ID card, or textbook fees.
-
What’s the minimum registration period?
Our school requires a minimum registration period of one week, and you can register on a weekly basis. Airport pickup is available from Saturday evening to Sunday, and classes begin on Monday. However, our SPEAK-UP course does not have a fixed start date, so you can choose any weekday to begin based on your schedule.
-
Can I take classes without using the dormitory?
Yes, you can. Depending on your needs, you may choose one-on-one classes of 1, 2, or 3 hours, or join regular classes. For pricing information, please inquire at the office.
