Fall Term 2026 · 14 September 2026 to 19 December 2026
Enrol for a class
One form, one class, one term. You see the number of sessions, the rate, the multiplication and the total before you confirm — and if the class is full you are offered the waiting list instead, with a number rather than a promise.
The enrolment system is real software. This enrolment system is a working demonstration. It really does count places, really does queue a waiting list and really does refuse a full class — but no place is reserved, no child is registered and nothing is charged.
What happens after you press the button
The place is counted
Not looked at — counted, inside a transaction that locks the class while it counts. If two people enrol into the last place at the same moment, one of them gets it and the other is offered the waiting list. That is a real piece of engineering rather than a promise, and it is the one thing about a booking system that is impossible to notice when it works and impossible to miss when it does not.
You get a reference and an e-mail
The reference identifies the enrolment. The e-mail repeats the arithmetic, names the room and the teacher, and gives the dates the class meets this term.
The fee is due before the term starts
Or before the first class you attend, if you are joining part-way through. There is no direct debit and no card kept on file.
Nothing rolls over
Enrolment for the next term opens about six weeks before it starts and you choose again. Nobody is charged for a term they did not ask for.
Joining late costs less, and it is arithmetic. A student joining part-way through a term pays for the sessions still to come. That is the same multiplication with a shorter list, and it is offered rather than asked for.
If the class is full
You will be offered the waiting list and told your position at the moment you join it. The list is in the order people joined and it is honoured in that order. There is no charge to be on it and there is no priority that can be bought.
How the waiting list actually works
If you are not sure yet
Book a free trial instead. One per student per discipline, it is a real class, and it is the only evidence about a school that is not marketing.
Not sure which class
Telephone and describe the child
The office is answered from ten in the morning. Between four and eight every member of staff is in a studio teaching, so a message left then is answered the following morning rather than during the class you are waiting outside.
