How can I register my kids? How will I pick up books?
Registration is now open. Please follow the detailed instructions for the registrations. Like last year, you can complete registration on the CTA website and fill-in a google form Medical release waiver. You can pay the fees using STRIPE (Master and Visa Credit cards). Then, we will organize days where you can pick up books from our school locations, which would be either on the Orientation Day or the first day of the academic year.
How much is the school fee?
The fees will be $260 across all grades.
Will we continue to use the TEAMS and / or Google classroom even after going in-person?
Unlike previous years, we will NOT continue with Microsoft Teams for meetings and Google classroom for homework and class tests, since we are meeting in person. We will not be able to provide you any technical support to use TEAMS or Google classroom this year. An exception would be Irvine location where the admins had decided to continue using Google Classroom for homework submissions. Recurring students from Irvine will have to make sure their Google classroom login works. New students at Irvine are requested to contact your principal / admin to get the Google account setup.
How will the Skip Grade and Evaluation test work?
We plan to conduct Skip Grade and Evaluation tests in-person with the supervision of our adult volunteers. The approach would change for each center. Please look out for further updates for your center Admin / Principal.
Who will be assigned as a teacher to my child?
We are in early stages and teacher-class assignments haven’t been done yet. We ask that you be flexible to work with the class and teacher that we assign.
