Structure
Classes are conducted nine times throughout the year, with three levels of courses offered during each session. Students participate in eight hours of classroom instruction, with a two-hour class session on Friday evening and six hours on Saturday. A final exam is taken and scored at the end of the final session.
Prior to class, each student is required to work through the course text overview. A minimum of ten to fifteen (10-15) hours of preparatory work is necessary. With the classroom time, students will have invested at least eighteen (18) hours per course.
The classroom instruction provides an overview of the material, practical applications and opportunity for questions and discussion. Instructors use personal experience and a variety of teaching methods.
Faculty members become natural mentors as they build relationship and share experiences with their students. Faculty advisors are available to provide accountability and guidance for the students.
