Please note that all classes are subject to change from in-person instruction to virtual instruction, as The War Memorial will continually follow CDC, MDHHS, and other government guidelines in place at the time a session begins. Please make sure you provide a correct email address and phone number during registration so we may contact you with enrollment confirmation, class updates, and alert you if any changes should occur.
