The teachers at Open Tent Academy are so excited to bring you fifteen classes for our inaugural semester! Below you will find a grid of the class offerings arranged by date and time. On the extended tab, Class Descriptions for Open Tent Academy, you will find a list linked to specific class information. Each link will have the specific class description, instructor’s name linked to their profiles and email, day and time class is being offered, supplies needed and syllabus. Please remember registration will open on Thursday, December 1, 2016 at 8 am ET. All classes need a minimum of five students to run and we will close classes at fifteen students. Our registration page will be activated at that time. Finally, you will find the information regarding tuition here, including early bird, regular registration and our “family pack.”
Please remember all classes begin the week of January 30. Please write all Winter Class dates into your calendar!
