School Calendar

A school year spans from September to August. It has two semesters: the Autumn Semester from September to January, and the Spring Semester from March to June, inclusive.

The last week of January and the whole month of February is the winter break. July and August are summer break.

Acrobatics Department

Acrobatics teachers and students take no summer break or spring break. The Acrobatics Department has only a two-week break following the Chinese New Year. The Chinese New Year follows lunar calendar. Every year it falls on a different day. Usually it happens in late January or early February. Besides the two-weeks Chinese New Year break, short breaks of one to five days each are available during national holidays, such as January 1st, May 1st and October 1st.

Dance Department and Martial Arts Department

The Departments other than Acrobatics have a 40-day spring break starting from the end of January and to the end of February and a 60-day summer break in July and August. Short breaks of one to five days each are available during national holidays, such as January 1st, May 1st and October 1st.

The above terms are for registered students. New student enrolment is available when school administrative staffs work in March, April, May, June, September, October and November. After registration, you will follow the calendar of your Department mentioned above. Please note that you can register in any month when the office is open. For example, if you would like to study for 6 months of acrobatics from July to December, you should arrive around June 20th when the office is open. After registration, you can study acrobatics through July to December because acrobatics teachers are available to teach in July and August.

Long Term Study

We encourage applicants to study for a long term. Long term studies are from 6 months to 3 years. There are a lot of skills to study. It needs time to convert knowledge to natural physical agility and instincts.

Short Term Study

You can also study for a short term. A short term should be at least one month long. You can choose to study shorter than a month, but a full month's tuition should be paid.

Summer Term

The summer term is in July and August of each year. Only the Acrobatics Department keeps teaching during the summer. Long term acrobatics students paying yearly tuition can opt in or out the summer term without changing the tuition. In the summer term some acrobatics programs such as flexibility, strength, equilibrium, handstands and tumbling are taught. Complete programs are all available in the Autumn Semester and the Spring Semester.
