Classes are open to ASM students in all program levels. Many of our exceptional instructors come directly from well-established community organizations and businesses that specialize in inspiring children in areas of athletics, art, academics, science and technology and/or music and performing arts. Students are able to explore new learning opportunities or broaden their skills in an area they already love. New courses are added every session!
