Come join our Teen Academy. This Saturday program offers courses for middle school,
junior and high school students. Classes help you strengthen reading, writing and math
skills and prepare for NYS ELA and Mathematics exams, Regents and SAT exams. Our
popular college prep workshops for you and your family cover everything you need to
know in order to apply to college including how to get financial aid. But it's not all work
and no play. In the Arts Zone you can develop your creative side. Take an art and design
course or one in architecture. Learn to play acoustic guitar or electronic keyboards. And
there's lots more! Teen Academy classes are offered in three 2-hour blocks: 9-11am;
11:15 am - 1:15pm, and 1:30-3:30pm. Our Winter program begins Saturday, January 24
and ends Saturday, March 21. There are no classes on Saturday, February 21. Our classes
are eight weeks in length except our 12-week Regents Prep program and where
otherwise noted. Make-up classes if needed are scheduled for the week after the official
last day of classes. REGISTER EARLY! ENROLLMENT IN EACH CLASS IS LIMITED and classes
usually fill up fast. In rare cases, class enrollment may be too low and we must cancel the
class. We will notify you by phone or email. For more information (including classrooms)
