STUDY ABROAD INDIA - CLASSES
   
  You can decide on two subjects of your choice from our list of arts.
  For the first subject, you will have classes for a minimum of two hours a day and for the second subject, a minimum of one hour a day.
  You can begin your lessons on the next working day of your arrival.
  The first lesson starts by your offering of a "dakshina" (a traditional gesture of respect and commitment to the Art and the teacher, placing a betel leaf, an aracanut and a one rupee coin in the hands of the Teacher)

  Bullet-ele.gif (979 bytes) The lessons are only from Mondays to Fridays.
  Bullet-ele.gif (979 bytes) Your lessons in one subject can take place in a single session or in two separate sessions.
  Bullet-ele.gif (979 bytes) You will have Yoga sessions on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings and Martial art - Kalarippayatt, lessons in the evenings, Monday - Friday.
    The lessons are always individual and hence intense. The exceptions are the Wood Carving, the Mural Painting, the Hatha Yoga and the Martial art in which other students might join in. There, the experiences of others might be stimulating.
    However, if you arrive on the same day as someone who wishes to study the same subject, you might share the same class, if the teacher is very busy ot if the schedule for your other subject cannot be adjusted
    But in no case, will we put more than three or four students in the same session, to give the personal touch.
  Bullet-ele.gif (979 bytes) Classes are based upon a time-table which is prepared for every day.
    Most of the classes takes place in the school building, but there are one or two class rooms in most of our houses

  Library; Our library contains English, French and Malayalam books on a range of subjects from arts and music to Ayurveda and Sanskrit. There are also video cassettes on various dances
   
Note: Classes are usually from 9am to 5pm.
  We always try our best to keep up this schedule, but due to unavoidable circumstances, classes might begin earlier or continue later
  For reasons beyond our control (a public strike or an emergency leave for the teacher and his assistant), if a particular session does not happen or is not completed, then it will be made up in the next session or on the next day.
  We may even give a special class on Saturdays or Sundays (only as a last resort) to compensate for a day lost.
  However, if a student fails to turn up for a session, that will be treated as 'student absent' and no special class will be given.
