Registration Policy for 2023-2024 School Year
Huaxia Edison Chinese School
Attention:
Online registration starts on May 14, 2023.
Early registration ends on June 30, 2023.
A registration is only completed with the full payment received in the registration system. School will not accept personal checks as payment. For the Fall semester, ONLY full year registration option is allowed; for the Spring semester, half year registration is offered.
1. Tuition Fee
The tuition fee is per student per class.
Standard Chinese Class: $470 for the full year (two semesters), or $280 for one semester (Spring semester only). $25 teaching materials and/or textbook fee will be charges separately.
Ma Liping Class: $470 for the full year (two semesters), or $280 for one semester (Spring semester only). $80 teaching materials and/or textbook fee will be charges separately.
CSL Class: $470 for the full year (two semesters), or $280 for one semester (Spring semester only). $60 teaching materials and/or textbook fee will be charges separately.
SAT/AP Class: $470 for the full year (two semesters), or $280 for one semester (Spring semester only). $80 teaching materials and/or textbook fee will be charges separately.
Culture Class: Depending on the class, charges range from $260 - $430 for the full school year or $160 - $280 per one semester (Spring semester only). For details, please see the class schedule table.
2. Registration Fee
The registration fee is per student per registration (same fee for kids or adults). After first registration is processed, adding classes will be considered as a new registration. Therefore, the registration fee will be applied for each such registration.
Standard registration fee is $20 per student per registration and $50 maximum per family per registration. For example, if a single registration includes three students from the same family, only $50 registration fee will be applied, instead of $60 ($20 x 3).
Registration fee is waived if register before Jun 30 2023.
A late registration fee of $30 will be charged if the tuition and fees are not paid in full by August 13, 2023. This late registration fee will be increased to $50 at the first day of fall semester (September 10, 2023).
For on-site registration, additional $30 manual processing fee will be assessed.
3. School Management Fee
The school management fee is $25 per family per school year or $15 per family per semester.
This fee is charged every school year/semester.
School management fee is waived for adult students who do not have children attending the school.
4. Parent Duty Fee
The parent duty fee is $60 withholding per family (one-time charge).
Parent duty will be assigned by Parents Council every semester. Failure to show up for parent duty will result in the forfeit of this parent duty fee. As a result, a new $60 withholding will be applied at the next registration. For families performed the duty in prior semester, this fee will not be re-charged at the next registration.
If performing the duty in the last semester, the family can request parent duty fee refund if no future registration needed (e.g. the student graduates).
5. Class transfer rules
Any class transfer request among same grade Chinese classes will not be processed.
For students who request class transfer, the first transfer during first two weeks of school is free; $10 will be charged for each additional class transfer during first two weeks. There will be no class transfers permitted from the third school week on.
If a transfer results in two different classes for fall and spring semesters, the semester tuition will be applied to each class, instead of the full year discounted tuition.
6. Class cancellation and refund
In order to receive a refund, the class cancellation form must be filed with payment receipt of registration within the first two weeks of the semester.
Students who withdraw classes within two weeks will get 100% tuition refund. The refund will be processed and posted online to your account four weeks after the withdraw. In case the refund does not show in your account, please come to the administration office during the normal Chinese school day to resolve the issue.
If the deadline for cancellation is passed, the student can only cancel the 2nd semester classes if the student registers for a full year. In such cases, his/her registration will be considered one semester, thus no full year discount in tuition will apply. As a result, the refund will be less than half of the paid full year tuition (e.g. $470 for a year - $280 for a semester, the refund will be $190, not $235).
If there are no children in the school as a result of cancellation, all of the school management fee ($25 for one year; $15 for one semester) will be refunded. If there is at least one child in the family registered in the school, then this school management fee is not refunded.
The class cancellation/refund (request) form is available online. The filled form can be mailed/emailed to School Administration for process.
There is no refund for those who register late (after two weeks of school). Registration fee cannot be refunded.
7. Referral Credit
