Season Schedule

Season Schedule

You are welcome to register your child at any time! Some notes about how the schedule and tuition work with our program:
  • Our program is generally year-round at most schools. This schedule is published on a seasonal basis so you may have the conversation with your child about class closures when they occur.
  • Monthly tuition is based on 36 classes held each year. AKA: Though our program is month-to-month, total annual cost is divided equal monthly payments for your budgeting convenience and to make it affordable for all. Some months may have 5 classes, others may have 2 due to national holidays, with an average of 3 classes per month.
  • Join any time and cancel anytime with no hidden fees or cancellation costs. Space is limited so register today to reserve your child's spot aboard. If there is a waitlist, you will be notified and refunded until a spot is available.

Below is a printable version of the most current 2021/2022 Season Schedule.

Parents love sharing the experience with their child using Class Dojo.
