Each course has a minimum and maximum number of students listed in the course description. We are going to hold firm to these numbers to help the teachers plan and deliver the best possible program. I encourage you to look at your calendars and sign-up for classes that are interesting to you and your son. Some classes may fill rather quickly — don’t delay.
