  • Parents’ scores are calculated individually, not by family.
  • Parents can participate in different courses/activities according to their interests and needs; credits are valid for one school year.
  • Credits will be assigned based on individual activities and duration: 1-hour activities count as 1 point; 2-hour activities count as 2 points; if less than 1 hour, it will be rounded up, so 30 minutes will also count as 1 point.
  • Certificates will be awarded at the end-of-term Parent Academy Graduation Ceremony.
