COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE

Namyanka is a firm believer in setting the standard of excellence artistically and spiritually. In order to achieve this we have established specific guidelines. In order to get the full benefit of Namyanka training students must avail themselves to the time necessary for proper development. It is recommended that you take careful consideration before making this commit. So please weigh the cost financially, socially – considering school and church activities, work and family obligations. The parents, sponsors or guardians must all demonstrate the same level of commitment as well.

If there are inconsistencies in attendance, tardiness, payment, or an overall lack of support and respect for the vision of Namyanka the student will be asked to consider another source of training.
