      Hi,


      For Sunday afternoon, TAS do not organize any class because they have their church activities. In addition, from this year year onwards they will continue their programme during holiday where it is consider a term. In that words, the fees will pay based on the number of weeks till end June. They just revised their schedule. Children will be given the letter of notice.
      Just saw the letter. Haizzz, there goes the holidays. Too bad I saw the letter AFTER DS class, else will sure ask them. I don't like centres which don't provide holidays. It's a bit daunting to have to go for class each and every week for the whole year. Some break would have been welcome.

      :sad: :sad: :gloomy: :sad: :sad:

        U mean for this June holidays, there are no breaks at all?

        What happens if the children go overseas on holidays? Will TAS pro-rate term fees or provide replacement lessons during other weeks in June?

            June holidays very sure will go on as usual. The only breaks will be for any TAS educational camps. I think for higher primary P4-6, classes go on as usual in Dec (not clear about lower P levels).

            But I understand from DS that teacher did mention in class that most pp dun go for 1 month holiday, if advanced notice is given, I think (I haven't verify) they will pro rate the fees. So far they've been ok - like when DS got school/music stuff.

            Will verify more this weekend when I send DS to class. I hope they give leeway (more than 1 week) - pp going for long holidays may well have to miss 2 lessons or more leh. it's already tough enough planning holidays.

              hi,


              Yes I also got the letter and asked them about it because this June, I need to bring my family to the States to visit my sister for a whole month. They say some kids need to go back to their own country for the hols, they will prorate for that period they are away but it is more for parents who request the whole June off because they need to go overseas for a long period. Otherwise, they allow two lessons to be prorated for term 2.

                    Hi ilovechubby,


                    Yes, he got a book. They are supposed to read and return. Given 2 weeks to read if need be, don’t have to return the next week.

                        Hi TAS parents


                        May I know whether the pro-ration is equivalent to 1 lesson fee? I also understand they allow 1 credit per term if we missed a lesson. Also equivalent to 1 lesson fee too? Thanks.
