Company Summary

Today, it is hard for children and adults who are interested in developing creative skills to access authentic and trusted places where they can consistently learn in a way that is rewarding and fun. Arts education provided by public schools is insufficient, especially with recent budget cuts. Students are under-served by a host of small, less-known educators or a few hard-to-access large institutes.
We seek to fill this gap by providing a network of branded franchises that provide high-quality education through internationally-recognized certification, structured learning & professional paths
• We currently offer Indian music education in the test phase. Plan to expand to all genres (Western music, dance, fine arts, film-making, etc) eventually
• Programs and educators are certified by internationally recognized panel – starting with Indian music maestros to The Julliard School, Sundance Institute etc as we expand
• We focus on a holistic learning experience and provide professional and collaboration opportunities that make learning rewarding & fun
