Three time options are available to support different family schedules. Extended arrangements are confirmed individually according to location, transportation, staffing, and the student’s needs.

Families should pick up students promptly at the confirmed end time. A later time beyond 6:00 p.m. may be requested and must be confirmed separately by the school. Any change to the pickup person or time must be communicated in advance.
Course arrangements vary by student age, Chinese level, family needs, and the length of the selected time slot. The program centers on Chinese learning and may combine the following areas:
Following the established textbook, students develop Chinese listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills and build a strong foundation.
Targeted explanation and support for school assignments and learning challenges across subjects.
Correction of Mandarin pronunciation errors, pronunciation practice, tongue twisters, and speeches based on poems, essays, and fairy tales.
Standard Chinese character writing, brush calligraphy, drawing, visual-art projects, and more.
Chinese songs, children’s song performances, performance fundamentals, and short-play rehearsals.
Basic martial arts and Shaolin boxing.
The specific daily combination may change according to location, student grouping, course themes, enrollment, and faculty availability.
The following is a sample arrangement. Actual times are adjusted to the student’s dismissal time, travel time, selected end time, and class plan.
| Stage | Activity |
|---|---|
| After dismissal | Teacher pickup, attendance check, and travel to the nearby learning location |
| Arrival | Check-in, a brief rest, and preparation for learning |
| Core learning | Pre-class reading, Chinese course study, and Chinese practice |
| Enrichment | Learning in reading aloud, public speaking, calligraphy, visual arts, music, performance, and martial arts, plus related assignment support |
| End of program | Organize belongings, teacher-family handoff, and sign-out |
Pickup plans, responsible teachers, locations, and emergency contacts are confirmed in advance.
Shorter, convenient routes reduce unnecessary travel and make after-school transitions smoother.
Systematic Chinese learning builds stable progress in listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
Academic support is combined with language, culture, arts, performance, and movement.
Families may select a regular end time or request a longer arrangement for school confirmation.
Pickup changes, attendance, student needs, and important learning updates are communicated promptly.
Student safety and smooth program operation depend on clear, timely cooperation between the school and families.
| Party | Key Responsibilities |
|---|---|
| School | Confirm pickup staff and locations; maintain attendance and sign-out records; provide safe supervision and organized teaching; promptly notify families of important changes or emergencies. |
| Parent / Guardian | Provide accurate school, dismissal, emergency, allergy, and authorized-pickup information; notify the school of absences or changes in advance; pick up the student on time. |
| Close Communication | Maintain timely communication, follow confirmed safety procedures, respect program rules, and work together to support the student’s learning and well-being. |
Only authorized adults may pick up a student. The school must be informed in advance of any temporary change. The school will not release a student to an unconfirmed person.
Monthly tuition for the Off-Campus After-School Program varies by the selected end time:
| After-School Time Slot | Monthly Tuition |
|---|---|
| 1:50–4:00 p.m., or 2:50–5:00 p.m. | $320/month |
| 1:50–5:00 p.m., or 2:50–6:00 p.m. | $360/month |
| 1:50–6:00 p.m. | $480/month |
For a family with two children enrolled, the second child receives a 20% tuition discount.
Families may choose monthly payments or a single payment for the full semester.
Pay the applicable monthly tuition according to the selected end time.
Families who pay the full semester in one payment receive a $50 discount from that semester’s total tuition.
For example, if a semester is calculated as five months:
| After-School Time Slot | Five-Month Regular Price | Semester Discount | One-Time Payment |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1:50–4:00 p.m., or 2:50–5:00 p.m. | $1,600 | −$50 | $1,550 |
| 1:50–5:00 p.m., or 2:50–6:00 p.m. | $1,800 | −$50 | $1,750 |
| 1:50–6:00 p.m. | $2,400 | −$50 | $2,350 |
The semester tuition shown above uses five months as an example. Actual tuition is calculated according to the specific number of billed months in that semester. A requested end time after 6:00 p.m. must be confirmed separately by the school before enrollment.
When registering, families provide the following information so the school can confirm whether a safe, suitable arrangement is available:
Specific pickup routes, learning locations, class schedules, and start dates are subject to the school’s final confirmation.
If dismissal time, pickup location, attendance days, end time, or authorized pickup person changes, families should contact the school in advance. Any related fee adjustment follows the newly confirmed plan.
We hope the Off-Campus After-School Program does more than solve transportation and scheduling challenges. It should become a meaningful extension of each child’s day.
Safe pickup + nearby learning + Chinese at the core + varied enrichment helps children build knowledge, explore interests, gain confidence, and continue growing with joy.
