For Parents & Guardians
The practical answers, first
Plain answers to the questions parents ask before anything else, with the full written policy one link away.
- Is the programme residential?
- No. It is non-residential. Accommodation is not included and is arranged by each family; accepted students receive a list of recommended hotels and apartments near the venue in Limassol.
- Who supervises my child during the day?
- Vocal Excellence supervises every scheduled, staff-led programme activity: classes, coaching, rehearsals, and official programme events. Outside those (travel to and from the venue, accommodation, meals beyond the programme, free time), parents and guardians remain responsible. We do not provide 24-hour care, accommodation supervision, or airport supervision.
- What consent do we sign?
- Every participant under 18 attends with written consent from a parent or legal guardian, and a parent or guardian must stay contactable at all times during the programme.
- Are meals included?
- Lunch is included every programme day. Meals outside the programme are each family’s own arrangement.
- Will my child be filmed?
- The programme includes a professionally filmed mock audition and a filmed final showcase. For participants under 18, nothing is photographed or filmed without written parental consent, and consent for promotional use is separate, optional, and never affects a participant’s place.
