IC Academy | Ho Man Tin Art School — Kids, Teen & Adult Art Classes
IC Academy is a premier children's art studio in Ho Man Tin, Kowloon City. We help primary school students manage HKBPE exam stress through guided art-making — building confidence, self-identity, and a genuine love of visual art. From first brushstrokes to secondary school Portfolio, every child belongs here.
Frequently asked questions
My child has no drawing experience at all — can they still join?
Absolutely. Every IC Academy programme starts from zero. Our teachers design a personalised learning path based on each child's developmental stage. We especially welcome children who have never held a paintbrush — creativity grows best when it begins from joy, not pressure.
How does art actually help with HKBPE exam stress?
Regular art-making can help children unwind. Our sessions give them space to express themselves through drawing and painting — easing tension around academic performance so they can face assessments from a calmer place.
When should we start preparing a secondary school Portfolio?
We recommend beginning in the second term of Primary 5. Starting early gives your child time to accumulate a body of work, develop technical skills, and — with teacher guidance — build a Portfolio that reflects genuine personal voice rather than last-minute cramming.
What is the absence policy, and do we need to supply our own materials?
We offer a flexible catch-up class arrangement for absences. Professional art materials are provided by the centre — no separate purchases needed. For fees and scheduling, WhatsApp us or visit the trial class page.
