Welcome to our new website! Classes are now ready for registration.

Some updates:

  • We needed to update our split-payment policy after printing our ads: our new website platform exclusively takes 4 small installations via Afterpay (instead of the former 3 via Volusion).

  • Class availability is now clear prior to registration, with available slots clearly marked. Be quick—these classes fill rapidly!

  • As we return to teaching, we will be adding more schools to our schedule. If you don’t see your school listed, let them know you’d love us there!
