Happy New Year! We are excited to begin the 2022 T1 Winter Term!

Mental and physical health are both essential as we continue to navigate the challenges of the pandemic. We are determined to stay open and to continue offering classes.

Masks and vaccines work. We have shown our ability to maintain a safe environment where everyone wears a mask inside the school. If you have any cold or flu symptoms, please stay home and rest. The current self-isolation period has been reduced to 5 days after symptoms show (for those who are vaccinated).

We now have over 100 students registered. That brings us to just under 50 spots left for the 2022 T1 Winter Term. If you have not yet registered please consider doing so soon.

For those who have already registered, please set up your auto-reservations to ensure you are able to attend classes on your preferred day and time.
