REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingThe teachers work with you, if you need help, they give it to you. The classes are small and easy, and the work isn't as difficult as most would think.
Ashley from Red Hook, NY
The classes available are all the perfect amount of time - not too much learning crammed in all at once, but long enough to receive a fulfilling lesson in whichever subject you're taking. I've taken one, two, and three day a week classes, and I don't have a preference because they're all equally as rewarding and generally easy to keep up with.
