About Class Size and Registration
Classes are limited to a maximum of 16 students at any one time. As there is a group of students who register for the entire session it is important to register as early as possible. After filling out the application form and having a phone interview with Kari Margolis, students are accepted on a first-come basis.
A non-refundable deposit of $150 to $350 (depending on length of stay) must be received to confirm registration. Stays of two to eight weeks must be paid in full at least two weeks before classes start. A payment schedule will be discussed with each student registering for longer than eight weeks. Payment can be made by check, major credit card or through Paypal.
