Small Class Sizes

Students learn in a non-intimidating, small class setting. Small class size benefits the students in the academic classes, where it is easy to ask questions and interact with the instructor. It is especially important in the laboratory setting, where students are given an opportunity to practice more iterations of their skills because of the class size.
