There are 2-3 classes per semester and they vary in the number of classes according to the time needed to accomplish the class goals. Some classes will participate in Worship services, such as the drumming class and the liturgical dance class. Some classes will display their creations for all to enjoy, such as the art classes. Some classes are designed just to give the children experience in a creative area new to them or to help them gain some new skills.
