On Seat Availability

Andelino Atelier accepts a maximum of four students per cohort. Our 2026 weekend cohorts are now fully enrolled — a reflection of how closely we hold each seat, and each family's trust.

If you have been considering a place for your child, we encourage you not to wait. Openings are rare, and each one is offered to a single family before the conversation closes. We welcome your inquiry now, so we may reach out the moment a seat becomes available.

Tier 1 — Foundation Program · The Long Arc

Ages 5–11 · 10–15 year enrollment · ₱20,000 per month

At this stage we are not rushing toward any outcome. This rate reflects a long-term relationship and is reserved exclusively for families who begin during the formative years. Reserved rate — not available to new enrollees.

Tier 2 — Standard Enrollment · Focused Development

Ages 12–15 · 3–6 year arc · ₱30,000 per month

We are working with a shorter window before the pressures of senior high school arrive. The curriculum moves with more intention, still building fundamentals with a clearer sense of where the student needs to be.

Tier 3 — Late Entry Accelerated · Intensive Mentorship

Ages 15–18 · IB Visual Arts · 2–3 year arc · ₱40,000 per month

For students serious about developing real technical ability within a compressed timeframe. Every session counts - the curriculum is tailored specifically to where the student is and where they need to be.

All tiers include two sessions per week, a maximum of four students per cohort, and all materials.

Tuition tiers are fixed and non-negotiable. They reflect the mentorship model, the limited cohort size, and the level of individual attention each student receives - not a starting point for discussion. Every family within a tier is held to the same standard.

Once enrolled, tuition is billed monthly at the family's confirmed tier rate, due on or before the 1st of each month. This keeps every family's seat current and the cohort's standing consistent term over term.

We ask that payment be settled ahead of the month it covers, in keeping with the same standard that secured the seat at enrollment.

For families at ISM, Brent, Reedley, Southville, BSM, and other international schools in Manila, IB Visual Arts preparation is one of the most strategic investments you can make in your child's academic future.

Andelino has guided students through the IB Visual Arts pathway from Grade 5 through Senior High for over twenty years. Our approach is not a crash course added on top of regular sessions. It is a deliberate, multi-year preparation that builds the portfolio depth and creative rigour that IB examiners and international universities are trained to recognise.

We recommend beginning as early as Grade 5. A student who arrives at their IB submission year with four to six years of serious studio work behind them is in a fundamentally different position from one who began preparing in Grade 10.

Kaz Dy, our Lead Art Teacher, serves as the dedicated IB co-adviser for every family on this pathway. She knows the marking rubrics in depth, understands what IB coordinators expect, and advises each student individually from their earliest sessions through submission.

We offer a complimentary 30-minute consultation for families whose children are on an IB pathway. No obligation. Just an honest conversation about where your child is and what is ahead.

A seat at Andelino Atelier is confirmed only upon payment of one month's tuition in advance. Given our limited cohort size, a verbal or written interest to enroll does not reserve a place — payment does.

Advance payment secures your child's seat for the following month and is credited toward that month's tuition. It is not an additional fee.

Andelino Atelier is not the right environment for every student — and that is by design. We work with young people who are genuinely ready to commit: to show up with patience, accept honest and rigorous guidance, and develop their practice over years rather than weeks.

We welcome students from Grade 5 through Senior High School, including those preparing IB Visual Arts portfolios and those simply ready to take their artistic development seriously.

If your child has that quality of commitment, we would be honoured to meet your family.
