Please review our attendance policy below.
Hello,
Please be reminded that we have a policy that will be applied to all our students and parents. To ensure students receive the full benefits of our educational services, it is imperative that both parents and students take responsibility in managing class attendance. Please review our attendance policy below.

[Attendance]
It is our expectation that all parents and students (clients) properly manage and/or attend all confirmed scheduled classes, and class ATTENDANCE is CLIENTS’ RESPONSIBILITY.
For recurring classes, each class is considered CONFIRMED between the client and Honor Academy unless canceled or rescheduled by EITHER PARTY AHEAD OF TIME. Please read [Cancelation for a session] for further details. Honor Academy has the authority to remove the client from the schedule after frequent absences with no rescheduling.

[Disenrollment]
If you want your child your yourself to be disenrolled from our program, email us at [email protected] by the 15th of your last enrolled month, and you will be removed from our class starting the following month. There will be no refund for any missing class while you are still enrolled.

[Temporary Break]
If you are temporarily unable to attend classes with inevitable reasons and would like to come back to the same class or schedules, you MUST inform us ahead of time, and the length cannot be longer than a month except for summer break, which allows up to two months of temporary break if necessary. There will be a $100 deposit to secure your seat, which will be refunded when you resume. Otherwise, your seat may be assigned to another student, and your new class group or schedule will be determined based on availability.

[Cancelation for a session]
If a client must cancel their session due to extenuating circumstances, the client MUST give Honor Academy at least 24 hours’ notice. Please be advised that ‘cancel’ requires ‘reschedule’ for classes that are held in groups.

[Cancelation Instructions]
To cancel or reschedule, please LOG IN through HONORACADEMY.COM. Find and click the class on the affected date and press CANCEL button. You will have access to each session AFTER you create your password through the email we send out once both parties have confirmed class schedule(s). The status will change from "scheduled" to "canceled" (before 24 cut-off) or "missed" (after cut-off). Again, the cut-off is 24 hours prior to the class schedule. Missed classes are still billable to you.
We may be unable to process your cancelation or rescheduling request without the process mentioned above. Feel free to contact us for more information. Text messages or emails may NOT be found in time for your cancelation due to high volumes of calls and messages we receive.
Regular Speech and Debate classes OR subject-based classes at discounted rates, such as Speech and Debate+Math/Science, Speech and Debate+Writing, or sibling discount, will NOT be canceled and skipped and must always be RESCHEDULED.

[Rescheduling Instructions]
Once you complete the cancellation process through your lesson calendar, a confirmation email with a link to our BOOKING SYSTEM will be emailed to you. Make sure you LOG IN when you are using the booking system.
Use the drop down menu and search for schedule options for your class and/or instructor. If you do not see a schedule that works for you, or if you have any other questions, please contact us and we will walk you through.
Although we will try our best, please keep in mind that Honor Academy may NOT always be able to navigate your or your child's other existing commitments for rescheduling options.

[Tuition Rates]
For private classes scheduled at FULL tuition rate, each month’s tuition is based on how many sessions are PROVIDED, meaning canceling is acceptable and rescheduling is NOT required. However, Honor Academy has the authority to remove the client from the schedule after frequent absences with no rescheduling, and the seats may be offered to students who are waiting to take the schedules.
For group classes OR private classes scheduled at a DISCOUNTED tuition rate, each month’s tuition is based on how many sessions are EXPECTED, meaning rescheduling is ALWAYS required.

[Subject Group Tuition]
We are working on few fixed tuition rates for math and ELA group classes, and they will be announced on August 27 by email.

[Speech and Debate Fixed Tuition]
For Speech and Debate classes, each month’s tuition is FIXED, and ALL the confirmed classes are mandatory. If a student is absolutely unable to attend a class, they MUST attend an alternative class at a similar level. Refer to the [Cancelation Instructions] and [Rescheduling Instructions]. Speech and Debate classes are often named with levels, such as "MS", "HS", "Novice", or "Varsity". Find the schedule that best matches your regular group and if possible with the same coach. If you see NO rescheduling options that match your group, let us know and we will help you. *MS: Middle School/HS:High School*

The monthly tuition for Speech and Debate classes is based on FOUR guaranteed sessions each month. In most cases, we will also offer a 5th class at no extra charge. Although classes are scheduled weekly, a few classes may need to be canceled each year (due to holidays, etc.) at no discount to the client. Please be advised that in the long run, we offer more classes that the tuitions clients pay, and we do not offer refund or credit for your absence.

[Extra Sessions-applied to Speech and Debate students ONLY]
There are two extra sessions we require or suggest.
A. For new students confirmed by our coaches to join one of our relatively new existing groups, we REQUIRE one or a few (up to 4) private (1-on-1) INTRO classes depending on your child's experience level. These classes are temporary and will not continue once we cover all the necessary foundation knowledge.
B. We may offer extra sessions when WE think they are absolutely necessary to help the students. In this case, many of them will be offered free of charge except for competition style of events, but if it is by your request, there will be an extra charge.

[Private Class Refunds]
For private classes at regular pricing, notices of absence made 24 hours or more in advance will be recorded as "CANCELED" while notices of absence made less than 24 hours in advance will be recorded as "MISSED". Please note that "MISSED" classes are still BILLABLE. We do not offer class credit, refunds, or discounts for any "MISSED" classes. If the session is properly "CANCELED" through our system (Refer to [cancelation instructions], we will offer a makeup session OR a class credit to the following month provided you are a PRIVATE STUDENT at a regular rate.

[Manual Payments]
There will be an invoice sent by EMAIL early each month. Tuition is due on receipt of the invoice. Any invoice balance unpaid by the 15th of the month may result in LATE FEES in addition to the invoice balance.
We accept most payment methods including credit cards and Venmo. Be sure to use the drop down menu in the enrollment form and indicate your preferred method.
If an invoice is left unpaid for a prolonged period of time, late fees will be accumulated in addition to the possibility of the student being dropped from their classes.
Your manual payment will most likely be updated in your profile at honoracademy.com within 10 business days.

[Auto-Pay Option]
For your convenience, we offer auto-pay. In order to use the auto-pay option, please save your card information in your first invoice and contact us to enable it. Simpy message us at 562-402-0011 "AUTOPAY" with your or your child's name.
In the case of incorrect charges or errors, which is extremely rare, please discuss it with us, and we will have our invoice system regenerate the affected invoice and compare the tuition amount and the number of sessions based on tuition rate.
