American Sign Language for Kids (4/9-5/28/26)

**Please Note** Due to some scheduling conflicts, the dates for this program have changed. They will be taking place on Thursdays rather than Wednesdays.

 

Brand new this year! Join our immersive ASL course taught by native signers. This class focuses on basic signs so your kids can gain confidence in their 
communication in and out of the classroom.

Our adult class is taught separately at the same time, so you can learn as a family. See the Adult Leisure and Lifestyle section for those classes.
