Art Explorers
Ages 6–9
100
Like little treasure hunters on their first dive, our Art Explorers swim through colors, shapes, and stories — discovering their hidden gems of creativity. Each class is a safe snorkel into fine arts, where kids learn the joy of making, not just looking. With a student-centric approach, we adapt to each child’s pace and style, guiding them to build confidence and habits of expression.

Classes run Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.
Magic Pixels
Ages 7–9
120
These digital adventurers take their first plunge into Procreate, where the tablet becomes an underwater reef of imagination. Instead of passive scrolling, students learn the discipline of creation — developing hand–eye coordination, digital brush control, and the confidence to render their own ideas. Each pixel shines like a luminous starfish, forming the foundation of lifelong creative habits.

Classes run Saturday at noon.
Art Innovators
Ages 10–14
140
Like surfers choosing their first waves, Innovators learn to navigate between classical fine art techniques and modern concept art practices. They explore composition, anatomy, and perspective alongside digital and AI tools used in film and game industries. The emphasis is on choice and personal direction — guiding students to ride their own creative currents with agility, curiosity, and skill.

Classes run Monday and Wednesday evenings.
Art Masters
Ages 13+
140
Our most advanced program, designed for teens charting their own oceans of expression. Like seasoned surfers, they develop the critical eye and technical discipline to decide which artistic waves to pursue. With a strong focus on portfolio development, IGCSE and art school preparation, and personal voice, this course balances rigorous studio practice with professional critique and mentorship.

Classes run Sunday afternoons.
Seaside Saturday Club
Ages 6–12
120
A weekend atelier where students gather like beachcombers collecting shells, experimenting with painting, clay, and mixed-media inspired by the rhythms of the sea and seasons. Structured yet playful, this program emphasizes tactile exploration, collaborative projects, and the sheer joy of artistic discovery in a relaxed, creative environment.

Classes run Saturday mornings
Storyline Studio
Ages 9–14
120
Here imagination flows like ink into open waters. Students explore sequential art, character design, and visual storytelling, producing their own comics and manga. Each panel is a current carrying narrative forward, while we serve as co-captains — guiding young authors to harness the superpower of merging text and image into compelling visual stories.

Classes run Friday evenings
CG Lab
Ages 9 –16
140
An immersive dive into the deep sea of digital creation. Students explore concept art, 3D modeling, and design workflows, mirroring professional pipelines in film and game development. Like divers discovering shipwrecks, they uncover tools, techniques, and software that become their personal treasure chest — shaping skills adaptable to the future of creative industries.

Classes run Saturday afternoons
Sketch In
1 hour express art class
Ages 6–14
50
A one-hour express dive into creativity every Sunday noon. Like a quick snorkel between bigger voyages, Sketch In invites young artists to experiment with drawing, color, and mixed-media in a focused, playful format. Perfect for newcomers who want to test the waters or regular students seeking an extra creative splash, this class nurtures the habit of creating regularly — one sketch at a time.

Classes run Sunday afternoons
Music Atelier
Ages 5+
140
Individual music lessons are like learning to surf the soundwaves. Each note becomes a ripple, each melody a current — and every student finds their own rhythm. With a student-centered pedagogy, we adapt to their unique tempo, whether pursuing the discipline of classical repertoire or the freedom of improvisation and composition, ensuring a deeply personal musical journey.

Classes run Saturday and Sunday afternoons
