【UPBEAT will resume normal classes from June 1st】
We are excited to announce that UPBEAT will resume normal classes from June 1st!
The state of emergency has been lifted and from Monday June 1st, UPBEAT will recommence its elementary school, preschool and nursery school. The after school and Saturday school classes will also be up and running.
Every person at UPBEAT has done their best to ensure that not one person contracts COVID-19, and we are so glad to have met this goal!
To everyone in our UPBEAT family, thank you so much for your patience, hard work and co-operation over these last few months.
We will continue to carefully follow our safety policies when school restarts, which are detailed below.

● Four child-sized masks will be provided for free to each student in preschool and elementary (2-year-old and up).
● Eight masks will be provided to every teacher or staff member.
● Staff members must always wear a mask.
● Staff must all check their temperature each day before coming to work.
● Managing health and overseas travel history for all employees.
