YOUTH PROGRAMS
The following programs, with the exception of Doodle Bugs, run throughout the academic school year.

We allow students to enroll at any time and accept students at all skill levels, but we suggest scheduling a trial class if your child has not attended classes with us before so we may recommend the appropriate level class.
