- What if a student wants to take the in-person trial class before fully pay the tuition?
In-person class seat is limited, the seats will be reserved for the students who completed the payment first. The availability of the in-person trial class is based on the occupation of the seats. When there are seats available, it's on a first-come, first-served basis by the registration receiving time. If no seats are available, you may choose another location or online class. We will send a notice to let you know.
- Preparation of the in-person class.
- Face masks are required all times in the in-person classes, even if vaccinated. It is the responsibility of every student and their parent/guardian to determine the potential risks and participation in KLC in-person class and camp. Ultimately, it is an individual decision on whether or not to join the class.

- Missing Class and Make-up
- When will a student be promoted to the next level class?
- In the New Beginner level, students only study one session. After the session is completed, all students will be promoted to Entry level.
- In Entry Level, students need to study at least 2 sessions before they can move up to Intermediate One level.
- In Intermediate one and up levels (Intermediate one, Intermediate two, Advanced one, Advanced two and Elite Group), our coach will generally evaluate students' class performance, homework, tournaments, and tactic skill level. Students can be promoted to the next level by coach recommendations or meet the USCF rating requirement. Every USCF member will have a provisional rating published after their first four games, and an established rating published after their first 25 games. Based on 25 OTB games, if a student’s USCF OTB rating reaches the next level requirement or passes the evaluation test at the end of the session, the student can be promoted to the next level.
- Class Tuition and Credit Policy
No refunds or make ups will be given for tardiness and leaving class early. Students may be withdrawn from the program without refund if they are disruptive to the class for disciplinary reasons or if they are not picked up promptly at the end of the class.
