  • How formal and structured will the programme be?
    The programme is a combination of structure and flexibility. It is designed to be creative and dynamic, which means it is open to change.
  • Will my child have to come every day to the Centre?
    Mostly yes; it provides regularity, routine and ensures that group projects run uninterrupted. Illness, emotional disruptions are real reasons for missing a few days. Other learning opportunities (like sailing, out-of-station treks, apprenticing with an artist) that overlap with our sessions are valid reasons too.
  • What if my child is not ready for some of the curricular tasks?
    Most tasks are designed for effort not achievement. If he still unable, he will be provided with suitable alternatives.

    No.
