Classes
Currently, classes are divided into in-school classes and afterschool classes. The regular classes are normally linguistics and adult orientated classes (such as Tai Chi) while the afterschool classes are for the students and include such classes as Art (there are four levels of experience). Classes are held from 2PM to 3:50PM CST on Sundays while the afterschool classes are held from 4:00PM to 5PM.
Classes are set up by semester so for an entire year of education, one must sign up for both fall and spring semesters. Books and other materials must also be bought by the students/parents.
Throughout both semesters, there are occasional holidays that either results in no class or a festival being held on campus.
