  • Can I watch my child's class?
    Parents and siblings are welcome to watch the class from the kitchen through the viewing window. If your child is feeling nervous or anxious you're welcome to come in the room with them but we do ask that once your child is comfortable with their classmates and teacher that you watch from the kitchen as it's less distracting for the students.

    No, students taking exam classes may choose not to sit the exam. If the teacher feels they are ready they can still progress to the next level the following year.
