-
(c) your preferred session starting time between 5:00 pm and 8:00 pm
Sessions will not be held during school breaks or exam periods.
Long Program
The Long Program runs November through April, also excluding school breaks and exams.
It is equivalent to enrolling in all three Short Program segments, but please note that the Long Program Session start times are limited to 5:30 pm or 6:00 pm EST.
The key advantage of the Long Program is that your partner will be secured and remain the same throughout the entire period.
If you choose the Short Program, please note that a partner may not always be available.
