NAFA and alternative

[CC71]

seemed like really difficult to enrol into NAFA…any body has any suggestion for other art school that is good? I have 2 seven-year-old and 1 11year-old very keen on arts and are currently with Crestar.

Do hope to enrol them into a more estab. school like NAFA

The long queue for junior art lessons at NAFA! I had the same issue when i wanted to register my son for the art lessons. Just to register him is such a hassle - waiting list is more than a year. You call the dept to register. They put you on the mailing list and you wait. Priority is given to existing students of NAFA and their siblings.


I register my girl for dance lessons and thereafter register my son as a sibling for the art lessons. Bingo, he got in the following year.

May I know what is the ratio of student to teacher in a class? Do you have a center near Bt Merah since you mentioned that there are 36 centers?

Dear Parents,


We conduct 8 - 10 students per class with 1 teacher and 1 helper. We are the first one to conduct this programme in Singapore so for the moment only 1 center in Hougang. The other centers base in another Asia country. Sorry for the inconvenient.

Regards,
Mika

I wish to enrol my daughter at NAFA for art lessons too, but apparently they only send invites to their mailing lists twice a year. Any suggestions how I can overcome this rigidity of their school?

[titank]

The only way is to register in the mailing list early & early go down to register a place. I was in the mailing list last year but did not go down to register.

So far just heard good is the NAFA branding but I have not heard of any good reviews from NAFA. The setback is that the class is quite big where usually at 20.

Hi any feedback about Nafa kinder arts? I would love to hear be it negative or positive feedback.

ny daughter just started class in NAFA . They only have enrollment once a year that is why you feel that is a long waiting list . Not true . I enquired at the end of 2010 but miss the enrollment for 2011 , so i put my name with them . somewhere in oct they send u a letter … you just go down to register in dec . Ofcourse its first come first serve so you just have to go down to queue . Thats it
