The main teaching building

About us

A small school, on purpose

We started in 2009 with one evening class of eleven people. We have grown, but we have kept the thing that made it work: courses small enough that teaching is a conversation.

  • Sixteen students to a cohort, never more
  • Tutors are practitioners first, teachers second
  • Every syllabus is public before you pay
  • Fees are flat — no deposit, no admin charge
