Dear Parents and Friends,

Greetings!

Registration for the 2025–2026 school year at MIOT is fully open!

⚠️ Please note: The early bird discount ends on July 21—just over a week away! We encourage everyone to complete registration soon to take advantage of the savings.

In the coming school year, we will continue to offer a comprehensive Chinese language program, including CSL (Chinese as a Second Language), Preschool, Shuangshuang Levels 1–9, and the AP Chinese Preparation Class.

We are also excited to introduce several new enrichment courses, such as Chinese Conversation, Sketching, Rhythmic Gymnastics, and TIMO (Thinker, Innovator, Maker, Orator). In addition, several of our art classes have been redesigned for an enhanced learning experience.

We will continue to host events such as the Speech & Recitation Contest, Writing & Calligraphy Contest, Mental Math Competition, and the Turkey Trot, and we will also participate in Huaxia Cup contests organized by the Huaxia Headquarters, including debate, recitation, and art contests. Stay tuned for future announcements!

🎁 Early Bird Discounts

• September 6: Families who complete registration and payment by this date will receive a $25 discount on the registration fee.

💡 Class Due Policy

• To reduce the workload for parent volunteers (i.e class parents), we began collecting a $10 class due with each Chinese language course last year. This fund is used for class gifts and greeting cards for teachers during the holidays and end-of-term appreciation. Based on the feedback from last year's trial, this school year's class due will be adjusted to $15. If you prefer not to participate, simply click the “opt out of dues” button next to the course during registration.

• Please remember to click the "click here" link in “After registering your classes, click here to complete your registration.” This step is required to finalize your registration.
• Class sizes are limited. We encourage you to register, complete payment, review school policies, and submit your confirmation as early as possible via our website.

Thank you for your continued trust and support of Millburn Institute of Talent. We look forward to seeing you and your children every Sunday at Millburn High School in the upcoming school year!

Wishing you a joyful and relaxing summer!
