Winter Session

January 5 - February 27, 2027

ASL Level 1

Our Introductory ASL class offers a welcoming start to American Sign Language and Deaf culture, helping you build essential vocabulary, basic syntax and grammar, numbers 1–100, visual discrimination skills, fingerspelling, and the use of space and gestures. Taught in a supportive, engaging environment, this course gives you the confidence to begin simple conversations and start connecting meaningfully with the Deaf community.

We are offering 2 sections of Level 1 for the Winter Session, both in person at Kids on 12th School:

  • Tuesdays, 6:00-8:00pm

  • Saturdays, 10:00am-12:00pm

ASL Level 2

Designed for those who have completed our introductory course, Level 2 expands your conversational toolkit with a deeper dive into grammar, classifiers, non-manual signals, and cultural nuances like slang and idioms. Taught in the same supportive environment, this course helps you build fluency, tackle higher numbers, and engage in richer, more confident conversations.

We are offering 2 sections of Level 2 for the Winter Session both in person at Kids on 12th School:

  • Thursdays, 6:00-8:00pm

  • Saturdays, 1:00-3:00pm

8-Week Class Fees

To make our courses as accessible as possible, we offer sliding-scale pricing between $160–$360 for the 8-week semester. We ask that you honestly evaluate your financial situation and pay the highest rate you can manage. If you have the means to be generous, contributing at a higher level directly helps us offset costs for people who need to pay a lower rate.

If you cannot afford the minimum rate of $160, please let us know what you are able to pay on the registration form. You will be placed on our waiting list. If any seats remain as we near the start of classes, we will reach out to offer spots based on availability.
