Each student will attend three classes in a semester:

  • The weekly (or bi-weekly) communication class (English Speaking Club). ESC classes meet on Saturdays at 8-10 pm.
  • The monthly Buddhism class. Buddhism for Adults meets the third Mondays of the month. Buddhism for Youths meets the first Mondays of the month. The time for both classes is 8pm-10pm VN time.

  • Attend all your classes, if you have to miss or be late to your class, please let your teacher know. Three straight unexcused absences may cause the removal of the student.
5. How are students being graded?
