Who is KYOSIL for?Main focus of KYOSIL is to learn and grow together with your peers and your mentor. By taking time with your work but also enjoying your learning experience will help you to rediscover your voice and passion in your work. KYOSIL is intended for aspiring animators who already have experience as students having done various exercises/shots for their reel. Mentors in KYOSIL will NOT focus on going over basics of using the software. Their main purpose here is to help facilitate growth within mentees while mentoring each individual to become better at their craft.

What is your return policy?There is a non-refundable fee of $300 dollars when you register. This was set so that it gives a fair chance to all students who want to sign up for the class. It's unfortunate if a student drops out and other potential students from before realize too late. Once you are registered, you have until 3 weeks before class starts to ask for a refund except the non-refundable fee. Please keep in mind that the refund will exclude the non-refundable fee and the Stripe/Paypal fee.

How is KYOSIL different from online schools?KYOSIL is founded on the idea of embracing growth. Rather than focusing on the result, we try to find joy within the challenge that comes from the process of making our work. This is why the mentorship program is not centered around a set syllabus/schedule so that we don't rush the process. With that in mind, mentees can choose how they want to spend the term. There are no grading systems or assignments in KYOSIL. Only expectation for those wanting to enroll in KYOSIL's mentorship program is to come hungry and to love the process more than the result. KYOSIL is a mentorship/tutoring service, not a school*
