2023 Class Offerings

All prospective students must fill out an Odyssey Online Application and include a 1,000-word writing sample. There is a $10 application fee. If you are admitted to the course, $10 will be deducted from the tuition. If you are not admitted, we regret that we’re no longer able to provide feedback on your writing sample, due to the high volume of applications received. For a description of the class, its assignments, requirements, schedule, and a biography of the instructor, see below.

Note: If you wish to apply for more than one class, you must apply for each class with a separate application.
