Upcoming Classes

ACWL-Nuveen classes are supported in part by grants from the Michigan Arts & Culture Council, the National Endowment for the Arts and the Nuveen Benevolent Trust.

What does WHSP Eligible mean? This means students currently enrolled in the Whitehall Home School Partnership can use their stipend to pay for the listed class. ACWL-Nuveen Director Erin Peyer, ACWL-Nuveen Assistant Director Susan Wink, Kim Funk, and Kathy Rogers are all registered vendors through the home school partnership. If Ms. Rogers or Ms. Funk is not the listed instructor, Ms. Peyer or Ms. Wink will be present at the WHSP Eligible class. When registering for a class, simply select 'cash payment' for the payment option. WHSP parents/guardians will need to stop in and sign a form agreeing to pay for the registered class(es) if the student fails to fulfill the Whitehall Home School Partnership's Count Day/Month procedures.
