If you are doing Module 1+2 and choose Adventure from 24th August to 18th December 2026, followed by Media from 11th January to 14th May 2027, your example schedule would look like this:
Example Week Schedule:
Left Timetable: Activities during Module 1
Right Timetable: Activities during Module 2
The schedule - Module 1 on November 2026 is an example for the students of FR22, showing when they will be split into two different classes or locations depending on their choice.
If you see two circles (Blue and Green), this indicates a split. If you see a black circle, it means the entire group is together, which could be for activities such as Deaf Studies, study trips, team building, filming challenge, Winter bath, or visiting places like the Lego House.
This schedule is fixed from August to May as a typical week in Frontrunners. However, it may change depending on projects, guest teachers, study trips, and other factors.

What?
The program’s curriculum unfolds through thematic modules, hands-on projects, and creative exploration, culminating in a final interdisciplinary group project. You’ll be immersed in a variety of art forms, including visual arts, performing arts, and digital arts, with a focus on Deaf-centered art and perspectives from the Deaf community. Throughout the program, you will experiment with new approaches, gain a deeper understanding of art’s role in society, and discover how different creative practices intersect and collaborate.
Why?
Art is a dynamic and evolving concept, shaped by its creators, audiences, and the world it exists in. What art means to one person may be entirely different for another, and that’s part of its beauty. Art is a form of expression, a tool for connection, and a reflection of society. Not only can art inspire, challenge, and educate, but it also has the power to transform spaces and bring communities together. Through art, discover new perspectives within yourself and in the world around you, and share these insights with others, sparking conversations and inspiring change.
