This one month deposit will be refunded when your child graduates from K2; or if 1 month written notice is given before withdrawal within the school term not counting the holiday.

There will be no pro-rate, refund of Term Fees, or make-up classes in the event of school closures mandated by the Ministry of Education and any other government authorities, or if your child is absent for any period of time for any reason whatsoever.

Information Updates
Notify the office of any change in address, home and mobile phone numbers, caregivers' and their contact numbers, transport arrangement and any other important information.
School Uniform
School uniform must be obtained from the school before the school terms begin through the Admin Office.
Class Placements
- Children's placement in particular classes is done with discernment to help each child achieve his/her best potential.
- Reallocation. Groups of K1 children from each class will group with another to form a new class grouping when they progress to K2. This is to help children widen their circle of friends and to learn to be proactive in relating.
- The Kindergarten's decision on your child's placement and reallocation shall therefore be final. We seek parents' cooperation and understanding.
- In the event the quota for the minimum class number is not met, the Kindergarten reserves full rights to transfer its students to other classes of the same level.
