Every once in a while a parent comes to us with an unusual tutoring request.  Recently, we had one such request: an architecture tutor.  As discussions and planning with the parent progressed, we decided that a small group would be the best forum for this exploration.   This means we are pleased to present a new six-week course in architecture for 10-14 year olds, starting April 8^th.  This class will give students a good basic knowledge of architecture and its use in the modern world.   Below you will find the details including dates, potential topics, and class structure.  To register, please call (212) 928-5016 or email us.
