Dear Parents, The Youth Educational Services division of Lifelong Learning is going green. We are reducing the amount of paper that we use by combining the two schedules you have previously received into one comprehensive schedule. Many of our open enrollment classes are also offered during the day to homeschooled children. By including all of them in one schedule we are duplicating less information and doing our part to help the environment. I hope you will find the new schedule more helpful in finding the perfect class for your child(ren). If you see a class that your children would love to take but it is offered at a time that is not convenient for you, please contact us, we may be able to help by adding another section of a popular class. To help you understand course designations I have included a short description for the three letter codes we use for classes. YHS -enrichment courses offered during the week and during school time hours for our homeschooled students. Homeschooled students automatically receive a certificate of completion for finishing a course. YES* - enrichment courses offered during the evening or on weekends as open enrollment classes. All children are welcome to enroll for these classes, just double check the age range for the class. YPT*- enrichment courses focused on acting skills for children. All children are welcome to enroll for these classes, just double check the age range for the class. If you still have questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us for more information on our awesome classes. Thank you for your continued support of our programs,

Parents and children can participate together or individually in these interactive fun-filled classes. When you see this icon, look in the note section of the class for the corresponding Personal Enrichment course number. These classes are not just limited to one child and one parent; register your spouse or grandparents to add to the fun. ONLINE LEARNING You have access to learning ONLINE 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Online classes do include lessons, assignments, and quizzes along with discussion areas. Please note that all online courses require Internet access, e-mail, and Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator Web browser.
