BWI Classes are open for registration!

I hope that you are having a great summer so far!  Can’t believe that it is already July!!!  It will be August before we know it and that means BWI classes are back in session.  Term 1 classes are August 21^st through October 4^th, and Term 2 classes are October 16^th through December 6^th.  Registration is open for our Fall courses, and I encourage you to go ahead and register TODAY! 

Our Weekend Intensives will be different layout this fall.  Instead of packing information into a Friday evening and all day Saturday, we will be spreading the intensives over two weekends.  It is our hope that this will be a better layout and help you to digest the information and have a chance to ask questions.
