Testing Cycles

Promotion Testing Cycles

At Modern Taekwondo Center, we run 2 Sessions per academic year, each culminating with a Promotion Test and a Graduation Ceremony.  Every student is expected to test for promotion each session they are enrolled.

Just as a student is required to take mid-terms and finals in their academic schooling, students are expected to test each session in their Taekwondo schooling.

Academic Year Sessions

Each session is 20 weeks long and they roughly run as follows:

  • FALL SESSION: September – January
  • SPRING SESSION: February – June
  • SUMMER SESSION: July – August (6 weeks)

Summer Session

The Summer Session runs July-August (6 weeks) and is focused on fun and enrichment.  There IS a promotion over the summer for the Tigers, Dragons & White Belt students only. The summer is a great time to start your Taekwondo journey.

Yearly Testing Cycle

The promotion tests fall roughly around these times of the year:
