Online classes are 100% online and accessible from home via computer. Exact class times will be determined (TBD) by participating families and the instructors.
TLC classes are small and sometimes fill quickly. If a class is full, we will indicate it here. You may still register for a full class; if you do so, your student will be placed on a waiting list, and you will be notified (i) if an opening becomes available or (ii) if an additional section of that subject is offered. If an additional section of a class is offered, we will indicate it here and notify anyone on a waiting list for that class.
Bear in mind that many courses (e.g., Composition/Literature I and II, Physical Science, British and American Literature, U.S. Government, U.S. History, etc.) are normally offered every other year, so if a class you need is not offered this fall, it will probably be offered the following year. You may also request that a class be offered this coming year on the Registration Form. Chemistry is offered every year.
