A Message from the Executive Director: Enroll early! Everyone benefits!

The Coleman Center needs your help and cooperation in registering for classes, camps and workshops!

Many students wait to register until the week a class begins. Some students register the first day of class and are disappointed to learn that the class has been cancelled due to under-enrollment. That student isn’t the only person disappointed. The instructor and the other students are all affected when the school is forced to cancel a class.

Please help us by registering at least two weeks before the start date of any class. By doing so, you will save 10% on your tuition and you will ensure that classes aren’t cancelled at the last minute. You will be giving faculty and staff adequate time for scheduling, planning, and purchasing of materials and supplies and you will also be showing consideration to your fellow students.

Our goal is to make our classes, camps and workshops as dynamic, engaging and inspirational as possible for you. Please speak with a member of our education staff if you would like help in selecting the best class.

With best regards,

Lisa Goddard Executive Director
