(Parents are involved in the marking and grading; this keeps the tuition fees lower and helps parents stay in touch with their child’s progress. This requires the parent to spend approx 1 to 2 hours per week per child depending on the child’s scholastic ability. We teach parents how to mark their student’s work.)

(20% off for second child)
(We do all the marking and grading and submit monthly grades to the parents as well as an end of year report.)
