Why do classes sometimes get

canceled and how can I help to
make sure they run?
We need to give our instructors five days notice if their
classes are not going to run. Therefore, the sooner you
register, the sooner we will know if the class will run or
not. If we do not have sufficient registration, we will call
you with options for other classes that will be running.
We always appreciate your help with sharing these great,
educational classes with family, neighbors, and friends!

Is my child always accompanied by an adult to classes and

bathroom breaks?
Absolutely! Kids to College students (grades K-3) are
taken as a group for bathroom breaks with a counselor.
North Shore Academy students (grades 4-8) always go
with a partner or counselor. All instructors, counselors,
and staff are CORI/SORI checked for everyones safety.

How do I know if our class

is canceled due to inclement
weather?
The college is responsible for closing based on many
conditions. Call our weather line if you are in question
at (978) 762-4200.

How do I keep updated on youth

programs happening at the
College?
