English Courses – WINTERRegistration is open for the Winter Session.  
Classes begin on January 7th.  Start the year by improving your English or taking it to the next level. 

 Renovations During the winter break our office was closed, but our doors were open. We began restoring some of our 100+ year-old doors.  It’s a labor of love and a work in progress.  Come take a look.
