To enroll in class:  The first step is to attend this orientation session.  During the orientation, you will be assessed (tested) in order to determine which level class you need.  You will be placed in a class at the end of orientation that is appropriate for your level.  Please see information on class location below.

Class Location:  We do not publish a schedule of classes, because class location, availability, and level change as needed.  We try to offer classes in North, South, and Central Austin in the morning, afternoon, and evening--but all classes are not available at all times and in all parts of Austin.  Most of our classes meet 4 to 5 times weekly, with very few classes meeting less times weekly.  We offer several 7:30am-9:00am classes, although they may not be available at all orientations.  Please remember in order to stay enrolled in our classes, you must be present 75% of the time, so choose a class that you will be able to attend.
