Classes Answers

1. All classes meet in the Austin area.  We currently meet in North Austin in varying locations, indicated under each offering in the classes and rates page.

2. We do not meet in other cities at this time, though we have plans to hold Expert Student classes in San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas in the future.  Please contact us if you’d like us to consider one of these cities or another location.

3. Traditional classes usually meet for 75 minutes per class, four days a week, for two weeks.  Boot camp classes meet two and a half hours per class for four days.

4. Boot camp classes meet for fewer, but longer sessions.  All the material of the regular course is given, though in a shorter time span, more appropriate for short school breaks (ex. Spring Break and Winter Break).

5. No. The same material is presented in both traditional and boot camp courses.

6. Expert student classes are designed for students aged 9-14.  We may accept students older than 14 under a case-by-case basis, but we will not accept students younger than 9.

Payment Answers

1. Only checks are accepted.  Credit card and other forms of payment are not accepted.

2. Full payment is due at the time of the first class.  To take advantage of early registration discount, 1) submit a registration form and 2) submit $100 deposit at least 14 days before start of class.

3. Yes, we offer a very limited number of scholarships based on need.  Visit the scholarship page for more information.
