All lessons and their order are subject to change. We constantly monitor the progress of our students and fine tune our lessons and training technoques. It is very important to create and maintain the level of interest in our children as high as possible. They should love to communicate and interact with other children in technical maters.
Not all students have to attend all classes. They may skip or select some lessons based on their own interest or preference. After all they are the one who are building their future and must be able to make such decisions.
