What is Living Academy?
Living Academy is a series of classes that are designed specifically for middle schoolers! Classes are held after school on Wednesdays from 4:30-6:00PM at the Living Arts and Science Center. These classes offer fun and exciting opportunities for middle school students to engage in after a long day at school. Classes will meet for 3 consecutive Wednesdays with LASC instructors, and guest artists. Students can sign up for multiple sessions! All participants are responsible for transportation to and from LASC.
