Due to our limited studio space, we encourage parents who are waiting at the school for their child to finish class to take advantage of the plentiful seating areas around the school and in the Contemporary Sculpture Garden by Lake Sterling. We have found that when parents are present inside the studios during class, it can hinder a student’s self-expression.
