​​
Class Absence and Tardiness
In order to maximize your language growth and study effectively, we ask that you attend all classes in a timely manner.
If a situation arises in which you must be late or absent, you can cancel the class on your page by 18:00 of the day prior to class.
​
If you must cancel anytime after 18:00, please contact your teacher directly through the Google Classroom stream.
​
In order to maximize the classes' learning effect, please make sure to study the class content for the day you were absent before joining the next lesson.
​​
Catch-up Lessons
Catch-up lessons allow students to stay ahead on any missed or cancelled classes at a later date and time.
If you cancel the class by 6 PM on the day before the lesson on the School Scheduling System, we can offer you catch-up lessons. We will add a credit for the catch-up lesson to your account within two business days without any notification. To this, we recommend you to check the credit within a few days. The credits for catch-up lessons are valid until the current level or course ends.
Fridays and field-trip days are special curriculum days for review, tests or feedbacks. Unfortunately, you cannot pick these days for catch-up lessons.
​​Ultimately, we recommend our students to attend the catch-up lessons before their next lesson. If you’re unable to do so, please take some time to self-study. This helps you to stay on pace, making the class enjoyable for you and your classmates.
​
You can receive up to 4 make-up lessons per month if you cancel your class by 6 PM the day before the lesson you will miss. You can cancel your lessons on the School Scheduling System.
Changing Courses
A fee will be charged for course changes made after your course application has been submitted. See Terms and Conditions for details.
​
If the instructor in charge determines that a student's Japanese level at the time of applying has not reached the level of their desired class, our staff may propose that the student change to a more suitable course / class.
These propositions are made for the sole purpose of maximizing our student's learning and language growth. Please understand, and we thank you for your cooperation.
