2012 Programs

We are pleased to announce the programs we are offering in 2012. We are particularly excited to announce that all the courses of our Foundation and Intermediate curriculum are now available online, which will be appealing to those who wish to progress through our curriculum more quickly.

We continue to offer our flagship summer program and our regional programs, which can be mixed with the online courses in any combination. The online courses can be taken either as self-paced courses or as live streaming courses based on the summer or regional inclass programs.
