Portfolio Prep is offered October 1–December 15 during our Afterschool Program. Students enroll in à la carte sessions for $50 per day, allowing for individualized instruction based on their current skill level and portfolio goals. We recommend scheduling a consultation before enrolling so we can assess your child’s needs and recommend the appropriate number of sessions.
