And just like that, another year has come and gone. A year of learning and growing together as a community. And grow we have! Last year, on average 70% of our classes were full last year; this year, that percentage has jumped to 82% (meaning the class is at registration capacity and has a waitlist). Additionally, we were taking in between 65-70 new students each quarter during registration, but in Fall it went up to 88 new students!
You may remember that our three-year strategic plan (2022-2025) included (1) healthy programming, (2) pay equity, and (3) moving offices. We'd love to tell you more about our office move, which is scheduled for January 2025. We are fortunate to have found a space just across the street, so it shouldn't present any new challenges for our students that come to our center for in-person classes. It does, however, have many benefits:
-
More space: We'll have two full sized classrooms that will accommodate 25 students per class. This will allow us to serve almost 50 more students per quarter without adding new classes. We'll also have more private spaces for individual instruction and tutoring.
-
Non-profit hub: We'll be sharing the space with other non-profits that will allow us to collaborate and strengthen neighborhood partnerships.
-
Multi-Media & Online Learning Capabilities: We'll have a modern learning center with updated technology in the classrooms that provides more support for online and hybrid learning.
We will be continuing to share with you the details as they solidify, but as we close out the year, we want to thank you for your ongoing dedication as we continue to grow and evolve. With the increased demand for our classes and programs, your support is as important as ever. We hope you have a lovely holiday season and we are thrilled to have you as a part of our community.
