FAYM Classes

Age limits for each class are firm! Some classes have a specific reason to limit age, other classes are more flexible. Please ask before signing up if your child's birthday falls in the middle of a semester.

​

Classes are filled in the order in which registration forms are received. Some classes have enrollment limits, while some classes can accommodate unlimited students. If you sign up for a class which is at capacity, you will be added to the wait list for that class.
