What is your policy regarding withdrawals?

Tuition must accompany registration for all courses. There will be a
charge of $25 in cases where registration has taken place and parents inform the school of withdrawal before June 20. If the school is not notified and the student attends class but withdraws within the first week, $25 a day per course will be charged. There are No Refunds if a student withdraws after one week.
How should students dress?
Will students be graded?

Summer school is designed to be supportive, enjoyable, and fun. Therefore, no grades will be assessed to students. However, Academic subjects will complete a “Comment Form” of evaluation which will be sent home with students the last day of class, just to let you know the progress your child has made.
What are the Hawaii State Department of Health Requirements for international students?
International students must meet the State of Hawaii assessment requirements and provide a TB clearance that has been administered within 12 months prior to the start of the summer session.

All international applicants must have a U.S. licensed physician, NP, APRN, or PA complete and sign the Hawaii Department of Health TB Clearance Form to confirm that the student is free from TB. The form should be dropped off at the school office or emailed to our office admin.

The following are acceptable forms of TB screens or tests.

Negative Risk Screen – for students who have been residing in the U.S. only.

Negative TB skin test (Mantoux) – This test must be performed in the U.S. or on U.S soil (e.g., U.S. military base) by a U.S. licensed physician, APRN or PA.

Quantiferon Gold blood test/ T-Spot Test– These tests can be performed in the U.S. and in most foreign countries. If the test is not performed in the U.S., results can be submitted to any Hawaii Department of Health Public Health Clinics or to a U.S. licensed physician who will provide a U.S. issued TB clearance.

Positive TB test and Negative Chest X-Ray – The chest x-ray must be performed in the U.S. by a U.S. licensed physician, APRN or PA.

Students will not be allowed to attend summer classes until TB documentation has been received and approved by the School.
