How do I join a class?
Our registration is done virtually by filling out a form on our website under our "Registration" tab. This is made available every May to register for classes offered in September.
​
It is important to register as soon as registration opens to facilitate planning for the coming year.
​
A form must be completed for each individual intending to register. For example, if 4 members of a family wish to register, each individual must complete their own form.
​
After filling out the form, we process all registration requests manually. During this time we ask for your patience and will reach out with confirmation of your registration and further details in August.
