Class Schedules for the

2010-2011 Fall Session

Classes start the week of August 30.

Classes are determined by your student's age, classes taken, skills, and preferences. In many cases, a student must be approved by the teacher to take classes with pre-requisites or skill requirements. The teacher and the Director of Education have the last word on whether a student qualifies for a class. NOTE: There is a dress code for dance classes. See the Dress Code table below for details.

For students interested in a progressive core curriculum that prepares them for college theater classes, please see the last table.
