St. John’s International School (SJIS) facilitates private instrumental tuition by connecting parents with passionate and inspiring specialists. We recommend private instrumental tutors following a due process, but it important to note that the teachers are independents and are not employees of the school. St John’s International School is committed to the safeguarding and welfare of all students and appropriate checks are made before recommended private tutors are appointed.
Private music lessons will be delivered as part of the Extra-Curricular Program (ECP). Early learning school and lower primary will be allowed to follow the private lesson during school hours upon request from parents, agreement of the homeroom teacher and availabilities of the music teacher.
For student of grade 4 and above, the lessons will take place after-school between 3.45 pm and 6.45 pm or during lunchtime. The lessons will take place in the PAC.
