Please use the side door.

How do I register?

We try to keep registration process as simple as possible – just click the “register” tab. Enrollment generally opens during the summer and fills by September 15, but don’t hesitate to enter mid-year. We are happy to put you on our wait-list and will notify you when space is available.

What is the cost of joining SKETCH?

The cost for the Sketch is always per family (not per student) for the entire school year.  There are no individual class fees. Please be aware each family is responsible for obtaining any materials that they will need to have on hand for each project.  Exact pricing is available on our registration form.

What age student is appropriate for the class?

SKETCH is a family friendly program and all ages are welcome – The art history lesson is presented at a level that is appropriate for upper elementary students, although we have found that the content is generally new to most of the older students (including many parents).  Art project instruction is presented in multiple levels.  The project overview is delivered to the entire class at a level that elementary children can comprehend.  The instructor then walks through the class offering additional instruction to older and more skilled students.

Can I stay with my child?

Yes, SKETCH is not a drop-off program.  Parents are expected to stay with their child and are encouraged to create their own projects right alongside them.  The best way to encourage artistic expression is to model it yourself.

What if my child misses a lesson?

Students will get the most out of SKETCH if they attend all classes, however each lesson is self-contained, so missing 1 is not a problem.  Any child that misses 2 classes without notifying the instructor will be automatically dropped from the class roster.  Space is very limited and we always have a waiting list.  This policy will help us to make sure that we can make the course available to as many students as possible.

Please, if you know that you will miss class, send me an e-mail.  I would hate to have your child loose their spot.

How will I know if class is canceled?

An e-mail will be sent out to all parents should classes need to be canceled due to winter storms or other unforeseen events.
