We are making significant changes to the program schedule in 2010 by reducing visits to a single-day. This will allow us to provide more personalized attention in the registration rooms for students and also reduce the parent orientation fee. We will offer overnight accommodations for any out-of-town guests the night before or of their session.
Please be advised that students are required to attend all programs from 8:00 AM - 5:30 PM. Information from each session will be posted to this site in August, after students and their families have attended the sessions.
