COVID19 Information Update

Adult Class Modifications

For the foreseeable future, we are offering options for In-Person classes or Virtual classes. This allows folks to choose the format that is most comfortable for them. Due to smaller class sizes, classes are filling up quickly!

In-Person classes are recommended for those who are vaccinated against COVID. Masks are no longer required inside the classroom. Everyone must follow CDC guidelines while in common areas outside the classroom.
For in-person classes, if you are not feeling well, please DO NOT come to class!
Where possible, students may be spread out in the classrooms, and class size is limited (depending on the size of the room). Class start times are staggered, so that we don’t have too many people coming and going at the same time.
Virtual classes will be smaller in order to keep learning individualized and improve the experience. Classes will be live with the instructor using Zoom. You will need a laptop or tablet with a camera and microphone to participate.
If your group meets virtually and you require a new textbook for the session, you will be able to purchase the book online and pick up curbside prior to the first day of class. We will contact you with more details.

Looking forward to having you in class!

Children’s Program Modifications

At this time we are beginning to return to in-person offerings for children, and will also try to provide limited virtual classes for those families that feel more comfortable virtually for the time being.

For in-person classes, children are not required to wear a mask within the classroom. Outside of the classroom in common areas, parents and children should follow all CDC guidelines.

For in-person classes, please, no more than ONE parent should attend, and ONLY if your child needs help using the bathroom. We recommend that any parent that attends class is vaccinated against COVID.

Parents seeking in-person private or semi-private classes may reach out to us. If we have a teacher who can safely administer in-person classes, we will determine feasibility to do so. We are careful not to put any of our wonderful teaching staff at risk.

Small group private or semi-private virtual classes are also available if you are planning to home school your child. We can create a custom schedule and learning plan that works with your goals and your child’s schedule.

Private Class Modifications

Private classes may meet in-person or virtually at this time depending on the comfort level of each student.

Vaccines are not required, however, we may have limited staff available who are willing to administer a private class with an unvaccinated individual. We are careful not to put any of our wonderful teaching staff at risk.
Masks are not required in the classroom for those who are vaccinated. Masks may be required in the classroom for unvaccinated individuals depending on the comfort level of your instructor. In common areas outside the classroom, everyone must follow CDC guidelines.
For in-person classes, if you are not feeling well, please DO NOT come to the office! Please notify your instructor to reschedule.
Virtual classes will be live with the instructor using Zoom. You will need a laptop or tablet with a camera and microphone.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get a textbook for the course?

If you need a textbook for the course, we will reach out to you by email about 1 week before classes begin. PLEASE check your spam folder in case you haven’t received notification and you think you need a book. You will be able to pay for the book online. For those in Virtual classes, you will be able to pick up your book curbside prior to the first class. For those in In-person classes, you may purchase your book at the first day of class. More details will be sent to those who need a textbook.

If a class meets in-person, can I join from home?

What is your refund policy for the session?

Our normal refund policy states that we will refund all but a $50 registration fee if you withdraw prior to the first day of class. After the first day of class, we don’t offer any refunds or rain checks. Once class has begun, we are committed to paying our teachers for the full session, so we ask that you not request a refund out of consideration for our teachers. Due to COVID, we will work with you on an individual basis if you need to change your plans due to a COVID-related situation leading up to the session.

What if I register for a virtual class and decide during the session that I want to switch to an In-Person class instead?

We understand that learning in a virtual classroom can be tricky for some people, even if you prepare yourself for a virtual session of classes. If you get started with a virtual class and decide you would prefer in-person instead, we will do our best to accommodate you. If there is an in-person class of the same level with a seat available, we can move you. But keep in mind that our classes are much smaller due to COVID and fill up quickly. We can’t guarantee there will be an in-person spot for you. If you register for a virtual class, please be prepared to complete the class virtually for the entire session.

Do I have to wear a mask to the office?

Is there any possibility that my class could meet outdoors?

It is possible! We will coordinate with groups once the session starts to see if there’s a day with good enough weather to meet outdoors at a nearby park if everyone wants (we know some people have allergies and some people attract mosquitos, so only if everyone in the group is in). We don’t have any specific plans for this at the moment, we’re just leaving it open as a potential fun and safe way to meet.

What if I have come into contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID?
