Admissions / Common Doubts / III of XI

My child is already so busy. Won’t this add stress?

The short answer: It is built not to. Two hours a week, every class recorded, and a teacher who would rather your child wait a term than struggle.

Most of our students carry a full school load, and many carry other academies besides. We know the week we are asking to join.

So the course is built to fit into it. Group courses meet once a week, for two hours, mostly on weekends. Homework is set for the week, not for the night. Even the harder grammar is explained plainly and practiced aloud in class until it settles, so that the homework is practice, not discovery.

When a week goes wrong, as weeks do, nothing is lost. Every class is recorded and posted to your child’s Google Classroom. A question that cannot wait gets a short video answer, made for that question. And for a term that is impossible from the start, a student can follow the whole course from the recordings and hand in the work online, checked and graded. Several students do this each term.

There is a less obvious point as well. Stress usually comes less from hard work than from work that does not make sense. A student who understands the grammar finds Latin calming: a sentence is a small puzzle with a definite answer.

If the timing is genuinely wrong, we will say so, and suggest a better term. We would rather lose a term than gain an unhappy student.
