Is this a training program or a real school?

This is a fully accredited academic school operating on the U.S. academic calendar—not a short-term training course.

Can students majoring in street dance manage the workload?

Yes. Live classes are fixed, recordings are flexible, and dance competitions do not interrupt academic progress.

What if a student misses a live class?

All live classes are recorded and can be replayed without affecting grades.

Is homework too flexible?

Time is flexible, but expectations are clear and progress is monitored weekly.

Does AI mean learning programming?

No. AI is used as a learning tool within science courses, not for coding instruction.

Can parents track progress?

Yes—through transcripts, recorded classes, and progress updates.

Can students handle full English instruction?

Courses are designed progressively. Fluency grows step by step.

What if we don’t plan to study in the U.S.?

The skills, academic records, and credentials remain globally applicable.
