We are looking for FAS pupils, between the ages of 7-11 years old, who show keen interest and potential in visual or performing arts to pursue an arts education programme fully funded by The Business Times Budding Artists Fund at The Little Arts Academy (managed by The Old Parliament House).

Application for the June 2013 intake is now open. There are limited vacancies for Saturday classes and 100 vacancies for weekday classes.

Those who do not meet the criteria for funding

Children who do not meet the criteria for funding may still apply for a place.  Fees for classes are $250 per hour per term ($25 per lesson).

The Arts Training

Children will undergo a two-year Arts Exposure Programme.

This programme comprises:

·                     A six-month multidisciplinary Art of Play module where students are introduced to music, dance, theatre and visual arts

·                     A 1.5 year Foundation module in a genre/discipline of their choice where they would work towards a basic graded examination e.g. Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music, Royal Academy of Dance, etc.
