Please be aware that Promotion Test dates and times are posted on calendar and memos that the School distributes.

Promotion Tests are very important to all students. Please be aware of the status of your child, i.e. number of classes and curriculum learned, to make sure that he/she is ready for the pre-test and actual exam.

Keep track of your child's training lessons and past testing dates as this information must be recorded on Promotion Test Forms and is solely your responsibility.

Do not attempt to talk to or instruct your child during the training class.

Have faith and trust in the Academy-our Instructors are highly qualified.

Be supportive of your child and don't always expect too much of them. Remember that each child learns differently and at different rates and therefore may not be promoted as quickly as others.

Your child is unique and special-do not compare him/her with another child in the class.

Learning takes patience and time. With your support and understanding the Academy believes that your child will be able to achieve his/her goals.
