Diaspora family stories

From iPad doodles at age 6 to her school art prize at 10

Mehrnaz started with us in London at 6, just exploring Procreate. By 10, she won her primary-school art prize for her illustrated Persian fairy-tale book — her teachers said the bilingual context shone through her work.

"Novin Zehn's classes are the only thing she begs not to skip. The teachers know her by name and her work by heart."

🏅 Digital Art certificates

Common questions

What diaspora parents ask us

What about screen time concerns?

Class blocks are short and focused. Plenty of off-screen sketching homework. We send parents weekly notes about exactly what happened in class.

iPad, tablet, or just paper?

iPad with Apple Pencil recommended. Android tablet with stylus works. Chromebook + Wacom works. We help you pick what fits your budget.

What software is used?

Procreate (one-time purchase, ~$13), Krita (free), Procreate Dreams (optional). All very kid-friendly.

Will my child be compared to other kids?

Never. Every child has their own pace and growth path. Feedback is personal and warm.

Can my child join mid-year?

Yes. 2-week onboarding with catch-up materials.
