Online course for children: 6-10 students
Online course for teenagers: 6-12 students
In-person classes for children and teens (depending on classroom space and age group): 6 to 15 students
Unfortunately, due to the limited number of students in each class, if your child or teenager is absent for any reason, there will be no make-up sessions or refunds.
If you have been notified of the enrolment date in advance and you have not enrolled by that date, there is a possibility that the class will be full, in which case it will definitely not be possible to join the class from the middle of the term.
We will accept your child or teenager if you receive the class information from the middle of the term and the desired class still has capacity.
How to join online classes …
If your child needs support and guidance to participate in the class and use the laptop, be sure to be available, as the responsibility for technical support of the class and ensuring the functioning of the device and the Internet is the responsibility of the family.
If the child works independently when connecting to the virtual classroom, there is no need for the parent to be present and it is only necessary to give the child a personal space.
Google Meet and Skype.
For classes held in the Google Meet space, a link will be sent to you and you will be connected directly to the class. In some cases, you will need to have Gmail.
For classes where you will receive a Skype link, you will need to join the Skype class group. At the scheduled time of the class, if your device is connected to the internet, it will ring for you.
In online classes, the cameras of the students and the teacher are on.
The instructor’s microphone is on during the class, but the students’ microphone is on only when they speak, and after they finish speaking, they turn off their microphone so that the noise of everyone’s home does not disturb the class.
Unfortunately, your child’s or teenager’s absence from the virtual classroom will result in the session being missed, just as with the in-person classroom.
If your class is on Skype and you have announced your absence in advance, it is possible to record the session.
Students who have been with us for at least two semesters:
If they announce their absence in advance, they will have the opportunity to attend one make-up class out of every 8 sessions. (*only if the day and time of other classes with capacity are available)
