Frequently Asked Questions

 

Who teaches PAE classes?

Our staff is comprised of passionate, knowledgeable and experienced instructors. All teachers are pre-screened, possess NYCDOE fingerprint clearance or frequent background checks to be school compliant for onsite classes. We can follow any other specific school requirements. Instructors receive training before new classes and support throughout the school year.

 

How long do classes run?

Each class is offered for a 40 min to 1 1/2 hour session one time per week. Traditionally, our courses are each 8 weeks long. However, we realize schools have different needs so we can run our courses anywhere from 6 weeks to a full semester. Please contact us for more details and to discuss class options. 

 

Where are PAE classes located? What times are your classes?

Our classes run on-site at contracted schools for everyone's convenience. Classes are after-school and could run anywhere between 2 pm - 6 pm.

 

What support can you give to schools?

We understand schools are dynamic and have varying needs.  Schools have the option of letting us choose classes, running enrollment and providing marketing flyers and support. We also check in with schools to see how classes are going, provide troubleshooting support, and moniter classes whenever possible.
