Northlight Art School Weekday Courses
Summer Term 2024
We shall be offering a 10 week Summer Term 2024 starting Monday 15th April and ending Friday 28th June with a half-term week 27th to 31st May.
Our courses roll over term by term and we expect a lot of returning students. However, please contact us via email or phone if you are interested in any course as there may well be space and if not we keep waiting lists and we will do our best for you. This term weekly classes will continue the same as last term.
Course fee payments: If you are booked onto a class starting in April you will get an email in mid March advising about payment, which should be done using BACS transfer if this is possible.
As a not for profit organisation we try to keep course fees as low as possible whilst still affording the cost of buildings overheads, materials and staffing.
