Question 1

Where are you located?

Accepted Answer

Situated in a quiet residential lane, The Greenhouse is located just past the Uthandi toll gate near ECR PVR cinemas.

Question 2

What is the price per session?

Accepted Answer

The base price per class is 500/- and the base price per session (8 classes) is 4,000/-. Each class is 2 hours long.

Question 3

Can I sign up for just a single class or do I have to book the whole session of 8 classes?

Accepted Answer

The whole session of 8 classes must be booked.

Question 4

What does an average class look like?

Accepted Answer

While the themes differ, the course structure is similar. The first 45 minutes to an hour is a presentation of the topic, followed by 45 minutes to an hour of an interactive session or activity.

Question 5

Are there any free trial classes?

Accepted Answer

No, but I'm happy to answer any questions you may have about the course, my teaching methodology, or anything else to help you determine if The Greenhouse is a good fit. In addition, you are welcome to observe courses from the outside deck area.

I will occasionally host weekend workshops--enrolling in these one-off sessions may be a good way to assess The Greenhouse's caliber. I'm confident your child will love the engaging, hands-on learning environment we have to offer.

Question 6

Will the units ever be repeated?

Accepted Answer

No, once we have finished with a unit, it's retired. However, many similar themes and subjects will be repeated--for example, if you missed out on the Thinking Like an Artist series, there may be other similar units in the future (such as Appreciating Art). Sign up for The Greenhouse's mailing list to be the first to learn of new sessions.

Question 7

How are you different from instruction offered in school?

Accepted Answer

I guarantee these units are either not offered in traditional schools or are not taught in the same engaging manner. While schools may teach music or science, for instance, they are unlikely to include VR, back-and-forth discussions with your child, cutting-edge research, and a strong emphasis on making learning fun. If your child does not love coming to The Greenhouse, then I've not done my job.

Question 8

I don't see many sessions. Are these the only ones available?

Accepted Answer

While units will be available year-round, I only list courses by the seasons of summer, fall, and spring.

Every season, I offer a course centered around liberal arts, STEM, and morality. The goal is to foster a well-rounded child armed not just with knowledge, but inner strength. With so many schools tasked with instructing students on subject matter in an increasingly-pressurized manner, it's all the more important to foster values such as curiosity, compassion, and resilience.

Question 9

What am I supposed to do once I drop off my child?

Accepted Answer

The Greenhouse has ample indoor and outdoor space for parents to wait onsite for the two-hour duration, if desired. Otherwise, there's Ciclo Cafe by ECR PVR offering a good ambience (and coffee!).
