The International University of Santa Claus

aka: School4Santas

World’s Largest Santa School

Over twenty years and over 160 regional schools

Celebrating over 5,500 graduates

2025 is looking to be a great year. School4Santas is hosting three Princess Cruises and five regional schools. And I still have some room to add one more school in September, should a regional group want me to visit!

Two updates: The first is that I have added a new school in Michigan in association with MAPS (Michigan Association of Professional Santas.) See below. The second update is a reminder to check with your Santa Association for School Scholarships or 10% discounts to members of select associations.

There are two categories for school registration. New Students and Alumni (returning students)

As with all my schools, this is for all Santas, Mrs. Claus and those interested in the Santa industry. Whether you are real-bearded or theatrically bearded; professional or just a volunteer, this school has something for everyone.

Registration for the two-day standard school is just $355, $535 for a couple. This includes 16 hours of training, the 260-page course book and your personalized diploma, or two diplomas for a couple. Travel, meals and lodging are not included.

Alumni Rates are just $285 per person, and $395 per couple and include the full course and diplomas, no course book.

The basic school is arranged with 16 hours of training and lecture, supported by a power point presentation.

The earlier you start planning for the Holiday Season, the better prepared you will be. Plus, it is less stressful if you start early.

I am always saying Santas and Mrs. Claus need to start early in the year, and at least by Summer' end, if they want to make the best of the training they receive.

HOME STUDY COURSE

And there is my ever-popular Home Study Course, now with closed captioning.

The 16-hour Home Study Course is just $275.00 plus shipping, $10.00, Total $285.00, and includes Thumb Drive with 16 hours of video training, the new “20th Anniversary” edition, 265-page “Behind the Red Suit – The Business of Santa,” personalized associate degree Diploma from the School. Two diplomas can be supplied for a Santa and Mrs. Claus.

You may also add the advanced training course, “Making the Moment, for $165, which includes an additional 6 hours of training, plus a copy of the “Making the Moment” course book with almost 200 posing photos and drawings, and a personalized certificate of completion. Again, two certificates can be supplied for a Santa and Mrs. Claus.

Save on shipping. The combined price is $425.00 and includes shipping.

2025 School4Santas Princess Cruises and

the 2026 WORLD'S LARGEST SANTA CRUISE!

We just returned from our Panama Cruise and it was Great!

Our next cruise is May 18 -25 to Alaska. We have almost fifty Santas and wives going, round trip from Seattle. NO PASSPORT NEEDED! There are still rooms available.

And July 19 to August 2, another group is heading to Norway-Denmark-Finland-Sweden-Estonia & Berlin, Germany.

Each cruise is a booking via Princess Cruises. But when you book via our Group coordinator, Laurie Love, you also get the full School4Santas FREE of charge, up to a $535 value.

Visit the School web site to see more details on the Cruises:

WORLDS LARGEST SANTA CRUISE

In 2006, I produced "Discover Santa," the nation's first modern day Santa Convention, with over 500 Santas and wives attending. In 2016, over 1,000 Santas and wives celebrated the 10th Anniversary of that first Convention.

But instead of a 2026 convention, I have decided to host the "World's Largest Santa Cruise" aboard the luxurious Majestic Princess, February 14 to 22, 2026. This is cruise # 8607, and our Group code is: TN5.

There are no workshops, and no vendor fair, but you will have special guest speakers, seminars and some fantastic special events that all will attend.

Plus, you can add the Western Caribbean portion of the cruise for a second week of fun and relaxation. If you book only this portion, there are no convention events, it's just cruising, relaxing and fun!
