Register online
You can register for most of our courses on-line with Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express.

Register by mail
If you register by mail, you may pay by personal check, money order, or by providing your credit card info on the necessary registration form.

Register by phone
If you register by phone, we can accept a credit card, check or cash. If you register by phone but pay by check or cash, you will need to drop off your check or cash to our office as soon as possible.  Payment will guarantee your spot in the class.

Register in person
If you register in person, you may pay by personal check, credit card, money order, or cash.

If you have mailed in your registration for a class which was already full, you will be contacted and given the option to be placed on the waiting list for that class.

If you register in person, you’ll know immediately the status of the class.

If you search for courses online, you will know because the web page will say “Course full” and give you the option of subscribing to the waiting list.

If you are on a waiting list, you will be contacted if a space becomes available. Please do not go to the class unless you have been called. The teacher will have to send you to our office in order to check your wait list status if you just show up for class. All waiting lists are handled on a “first come – first serve” basis and each class is filled in the order people were placed on the waiting list.
