PLEASE NOTE: ALL CLASSES ARE HELD ONLINE USING ZOOM

Winter Session runs for 10 weeks between Jan 4 – March 14 and is open for registration.

We strongly encourage you to register for the entire 10-week session of the class(es) of your choice, if your budget will allow. We will need to have a minimum number of students enrolled in any particular class in order for it to continue. All classes will meet the first week of the session, and drop-ins will be allowed. Thereafter, we will continue to accept drop-ins only after minimum enrollment is met. If minimum enrollment has not been met before the second class, the class will be removed from the schedule.

Enrolled students will be notified if their class has to be cancelled and may choose another class or a refund/store credit. Make-ups may be taken during the 10-week session but may not be carried over to the next session.
