Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts - Kinder Art class

Hi doraemon


You are most welcome. Glad to be of help in some way towards your decision-making. Just to add, as I have omitted to mention earlier, the children did a fair bit of craft work as well, like claywork, puppet making and painting on piggy bank.

Isit possible for those who din come early, may not be able register a place at NAFA :oops:

Just to share my experience with you, but do not hold me to it...

As mentioned in my earlier post, I got there pretty late last year as I forgot about the registration. When I first passed by the school on that day (close to noon already), I went in to find out if the registration was still opened. It was but I couldn't get any queue number as I did not have the letter with me. Then I rushed home to get the letter and a cheque, etc., had a quick lunch, and went back again. Still had to wait for quite some time when I got back there. I was fortunate in that the school decided to open up some Friday classes to accommodate all who were on their mailing list. That was the reason why doraemon was saying that there was no Friday class on the notification letter. There wasn't any in our letter as well.

As long as you do not get there too late, I believe you should get a class, just not at a timing that you would have wanted originally.

Hi Busymom,


Thanks for sharing…

[VooVoo]

wow...didn't know that this art class is that popular! Could someone enlighten me as to why, compared to other art classes out there...? :?

[Busymom]

Honestly, I don't know as it's too early to tell. :? Perhaps other parents whose kids have been on the program longer could share their experience.


As a kiasu parent, heard that it's good, so join loh... :lol: :lol:

On a more serious note, I personally think that the fees charged by the school are very affordable as compared to other privately-run art classes. I also believe that they have a systematic way of teaching art (although for the 5/6 yos, the first 2 years probably focus more on creativity) and the school has been around for a really long time. The school is so popular that I heard it is very difficult to enrol into the older children art classes if the child isn't an existing student from the kinderart class.

OKOK...thanks...looks like I may really have to go queue in the wee hours of the morning :shock:

Furthermore, siblings have priority in registration. My dd's class 80% with elder siblings who are existing students. Only handful of vacancies left for new comers

Any1 here going to reg for the children art tomorrow (5th dec)? I'm thinking of the time to start queuing. Cos my elder gal's graduation is tomorrow and I dun want to miss the early part.

So i want to be the 1st in the Q so that i can reg and rush down for the ceremony at 10 am

[VooVoo]

Went for registration on Sat. The 1st one in the queue came at 4am!!!


By 7am, there were at least 100 people in the queue...

And I counted that there were about 200+ or so number of vacancies... :roll:

I wonder whether there's sufficient vacancy for everyone who gets the letter
