***Note to Parents***
Please keep in mind that we are working with the schedules of at least 15 different schools.  Remember! - we added a class to all sessions to allow for an absence.  With this in mind, please choose a session that best fits your child’s schedule and school holidays. If your student is unable to attend a class, he or she should email his or her teachers directly.
