New Children’s and Teen Classes starting April 23rd!
Children, youth and teen classes offer our community opportunities to introduce, encourage and educate our young folk in the Arts.
Classes are small, student focused, project based and “standards” driven opportunities for all students to create, develop artistic skills and improve their learning abilities in a fun and co-creative atmosphere. Costs are reasonable and minimal materials fees. Limited scholarships available.
We try to keep a rather continuous, on-going schedule of children’s classes throughout the school year and the summer, except for public school’s and civic holidays. We announce a beginning date for each five week period and have students pay for the five sessions at that time.
However, we have pro-rating of classes for late entry and offer programs that are continuous from one session to the next.
Our “Standard” offerings are as follows. Please check the website for changes of dates, schedules, teacher or course offerings.
