Clientes System: becoming a permanent member
When you maintain your member status continuously for five years without lapse, you become our Cliens, a permanent member.* You are no longer required to pay membership fee as a part of family in Wisdom Garden Academy.
“Clientes” is the term adopted from a Latin word that is much more meaningful than its English counterpart “clients”. Its singular form is “cliens”. In ancient Roma, a patronus and his/her clientes formed a strong bond in which they support, protect and help each other thriving as ally, companion, and mentor-mentees.
Clientes system is an expression of our desire to be a community, where we all help, support and love each other and learn and grow together. In this system, dedicated clientes can become a part of advisor and teaching team of the Academy.
* Permanent members will have their membership as long as Wisdom Garden Academy exists. In return, they are expected to maintain their good will towards Wisdom Garden Academy. We reserve our right to discontinue their membership when members use their membership in engaging harmful actions towards Wisdom Garden Academy and its community.
