Due to concern for the safety and well-being of our students and staff during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, all face-to-face instruction in the Summer School will be delivered remotely in Summer 2020. The course catalog has been updated to reflect this new format.

We offer courses and programs for students of all ages and objectives.

Our students enjoy small, interactive classes that are especially conducive to connecting with instructors and classmates.
