2. Is there any discount available for families who would like to enrol more than one student?

Yes, there is a discount for multiple siblings per term per registration.

3. When do ticket sales end, and can I register after the course has started or after missing the first session?

To support our teaching syllabus, we do not accept new students once the term has started. We open registration at minimum a few weeks before term and encourage registering online as soon as possible as we will close once class allocation is at total capacity. We therefore encourage parents to enrol as early as possible prior to term commencement.

4. Can I pay in instalments?

The Kid’s Academy is run by volunteers, it is deliberately set up at an affordable rate which helps us with covering running expenditure only. Therefore, there is no option for this specific programme to pay in instalments.
