Fees & Policies

Happy Learning works with clear agreements, for the benefit of your child and a smooth collaboration between parents, student and teacher. Please read everything carefully before enrolling. 

Our school year at Happy Learning starts on August 1st, two weeks before schools reopen on Sint Maarten. We use those two weeks to get ahead of the curriculum, so your child is prepared and never behind. We work with all the methods used on the island, which allows us to preteach exactly what is coming.

We end around mid-June, approximately two weeks before the official end of the school year. In those final weeks, reports are out and exams are done, and kids are in full chill mode. We choose to end productively rather than push through when focus is gone.

The result: the same number of quality lessons, just timed smarter.
