Ever wondered how class credits work, what happens when a snowstorm hits, or whether you can switch to Zoom on a week you can't make the drive? We've put all of it in one place on our new FAQ & Policies page.

A few handy things to know:
• If Taunton Public Schools close for weather, we close too, and we'll schedule a makeup class
• Most classes are hybrid, so you can join live on Zoom from home any week
• Class credits can be used for any class or workshop, and they're good for 12 months
• Private lessons are available with Aurel and our other teachers
