Teaching a Practice, Not Just Doing It
An academy has programmes, faculty and enrolments rather than services and bookings. Independent teachers with no registry behind them belong here too: a great deal of real teaching in these traditions is lineage rather than institution.
What an Academy Has That a Business Does Not
Programmes
Courses with a start, an end and a shape, rather than a service somebody books an hour of. A programme can be published, running or finished.
Faculty
The same roster as a business team, in the vocabulary of teaching. A faculty member approves their own public listing, exactly as a practitioner does.
Enrolments
Students join a programme rather than book a session, so the record is a place on a course rather than an appointment.
Free and Paid
Academy Free
A public academy listing with its own page, and your faculty (one seat on Free, the owner’s). Free does not run programmes or take enrolments.
Paid Academy
Programmes on your academy page, applications and enrolments, more seats for your faculty, and the services, bookings and shared inbox a paid business has. See plans and pricing.
What Academy Verification Would and Would Not Say
It Confirms the Teaching Is Real
A programme exists, it runs, and it is run by the people named. A school with no registry to point at can qualify on evidence of teaching, because in this field the absence of a registry is normal rather than suspicious.
It Does Not Accredit Anything
We do not assess a curriculum, grade graduates, or rank one lineage above another. A qualification an academy issues is its own, and being listed here does not make it recognised anywhere.
Faculty and Their Own Profiles
A teacher on your faculty does not need a practitioner profile of their own to be listed on your academy or booked through it. A teacher who has one keeps it, with their own reviews and their own identity verification. Being on your faculty is a separate public claim that they approve, and it ends when their seat does. None of the rest goes with it.
