The Next Step:
Deep Immersion Program and Schedule

(Teacher Trainees must do this entire program to qualify for certificate.)
10 month program
The program consists of one weekend per month for the bulk of the program as a group. The rest of the program involves self-study: some reading and assignments, attending classes and seeing the director for private sessions twice per month. You can choose to what degree you would like to be involved. (breakdown of program and fees see below) Please come in to speak with Christine about how you can get involved. This program can lead to a teacher certificate recognized by the CYA.
