like to register for two or more classes per week, the fee will be $75
per month. All participants must pay for all three months (June –
August = $180) at the beginning of the semester.

The $70.00 fee includes one hour of instruction per week. This can be repeated by the student as long as they choose, however at the beginning of each month we start from the beginning again.
