Classes at Spark
There are two major types of classes at Spark, Collectives & Classes.
A collective is a group of students that take multiple classes together. Find out more about collectives here.
Our "regular" classes that are not part of a collective, are offered as individual classes that students can opt to take one or more of their choosing. This approach includes music students who may want to take private music lessons without participating in the Music Collective.
Below you will find a general description of the various classes available at Spark.
