1. What is your average class size? 

Our classes have a 1:8 teacher to student ratio. We keep our classes small so that every student benefits from maximum personalised attention.

2. What do students need to bring to class? 

We provide all equipment for the classes. Students just need to bring stationery, water bottle and a jacket in case it gets cold.

3. What if a student misses a class? Is there a class replacement policy? 

Unless absent for medical reasons, a communication lead time via email to specialprogrammes@thelearninglab.com.sg of at least a week is required prior to missing the class in order for arrangements for a replacement class to be made. We strongly recommend students to attend a physical replacement class within the week (i.e Thursdays at United Square or Fridays at Seletar Mall). Otherwise, students will attend an online replacement class to make up for the lesson missed. 

4. Are there any pre-requisites for the coding classes? 

Yes. Students need to complete Scratch 1 (P101) before they can enrol in Scratch 2 (P102). Similarly, students need to complete App Inventor 1 (P201) before they can enrol in App Inventor 2 (P202).

5. What if a student has done a coding class previously? Can he or she still attend your coding class? 

The student may need to complete a placement test as we will need to assess his or her foundation level as the curriculum offered by other avenues may be different. We want to ensure that every student who comes to our class benefits and learn. Hence, it is vital that your child is enrolled in the right course to provide them with the right level of challenge. 

6. What if I have done P101/P201 before? Can my child still sign up for the whole term? 

We recommend that you sign up mid-term and enrol for P102 and P202 respectively. 

1. Do I need to bring my own food for my child? 

There will be a 1h lunch break from 12-1pm and lunch is provided in our full-day camps. 

2. Which restaurant will they be eating at? 

Lunch arrangement differs depending on each day. Parents and students will be informed of the lunch menu at the start of class, and orders will be taken then. Rest assured that we’ve taken your child’s dietary restrictions into consideration when making lunch arrangements for the full-day camps. 

3. Will students eat in the centers or in the restaurant? 

Students will dine in at the restaurant itself. Rest assured that lunch time is fully supervised by our educators. 

4. What is the difference between the 3 day camp and 5 days x 3.5h classes? I am unsure of which format to pick.  

We run classes in different formats to cater to varying needs of students. There is no difference in the content covered and the materials are exactly the same. Parents may choose according to what suit their schedules best. 

5. Can students cope with the long hours? 

Definitely. Our classes are well-paced with activities in between to ensure that all our students are able to follow along. On top of that, there is also a 10-minute break every hour to ensure they get off-screen time to rest and refresh themselves. Students are also encouraged to bring their own snacks.
