1.1) For terms with less than 12 weeks on the calendar year (excluding public holidays/school closure days), the additional credits will be credited to you as Replacement Lessons and must be booked per our replacement lesson terms.
2) All fees are due and payable on the first of every month. The school will send the invoice to the student’s email address provided by the student upon registration on the 25th of the preceding month. A late payment fee of $20 will be charged to the student’s invoice if payment for that month is received after 14 days from the due date.
2.1) Students will be terminated if the invoice (i.e., clause 2) is not paid by the 25th of the invoiced month, and we will open your slot to new students for permanent booking. Your withdrawal deposit will also be forfeited.
Cancellation of Lessons
3) Lesson cancellations may be done via WhatsApp to our Replacement Lesson Team. Students must request at least 24 hours before the affected lesson. You may immediately book your replacement lesson via our online booking system with the link provided by our team if so.

5) All replacement lessons are valid for four months from the date of absence or until the student’s termination, whichever is earlier. Please note that we may assign another instructor for your replacement lesson if your regular instructor is unavailable.
6) In case of cancellation of lessons due to your instructor’s unavailability (e.g., MC, Leave), the lesson will be credited back to you as a replacement lesson, and we will extend the booking cutoff date accordingly on a case-by-case basis. We may also assign another instructor to you during your instructor’s absence instead.
7) Replacement Lessons are subjected to Your Instructor’s availability and are not replaceable with your weekly Allocated Schedule.
Temporary Cessation of Lessons
8) Students may request a temporary cessation of lessons for a maximum of four weeks for PSLE, ‘O’, or ‘A’ Levels examinations.
9) For all other reasons, students may make that request every 150 days and will be charged $25/lesson canceled for a maximum of 4 weeks. Payment must be made within seven days of approval for it to take effect, or it will be deemed as a termination request instead, effective from the date of temporary cessation, standard withdrawal terms apply.
*150 days is calculated from the day after the previous Temporary Cessation ends, if any.
For example, request for temporary cessation has been made on 14th Jan, to take effect from 1st Feb to 28th Feb, however as payment has not been made, student will be terminated from 1st Feb. The withdrawal deposit will be forfeited as the notice period was less than one calendar month’s notice.
Termination of Lessons
