Question from Anonymous
Hello. My son will be 7 years old this month. He has been expressing interest in writing and creating a book. I have been searching the internet for a writing class workshop to enroll him in. We live in Oakpark Il but are willing to bring him downtown. Would you have a program similar to this one for his age?
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi there! The school does actually offer MSP (10-13 ages) class such as this ECP one but only in the Summer term/Camps. Hope this helps!
