​
Registration will be available in person or by phone. Same process as before. If you want to register:

• In person that is perfectly fine but please be advised you should either have your form filled out or arrive earlier to complete the form prior to your appointment time. Due to the high demand of appointments, it is important that everyone is on time for their appointment. 
• By phone, you must email your completed form before the time of your appointment. We do require original signatures so you will have to print out the form, fill it out and send me the scanned file by email. 

Please note that there are classes being offered at both sites. EVERYONE MUST REGISTER A WEEK PRIOR TO STARTING CLASSES.

MECA’s Out of School Time Arts and Residency Program provides youth a safe environment and constructive activities outside of regular school hours.  Students in the program participate in music, dance & visual arts classes, attend workshops and master classes with guest artists and artists-in-residence, and perform at end-of-the-semester recitals, as well as at festivals, holiday concerts and community events.​

Additionally, all students enrolled in the Out of School program are eligible to receive support services such as tutoring and counseling at no additional cost.  Studies show that sustained engagement in the arts nurtures the development of intellectual, social, and personal competencies, in addition to increasing arts skills. 
 
MECA charges nominal registration and class fees, based on a sliding scale of family income.   Families that are unable to pay may participate in the Community Arts Exchange program. This will allow a portion of the tuition to be made up in volunteer hours. Please be advised proof of household income is required to determine eligibility. 
 Parental involvement at MECA is high, reflecting MECA’s philosophy of family inclusion to ensure the academic and artistic success of students. Parents may also receive support services at no additional costs. It is MECA’s policy that parents of enrolled students should expect to attend orientation meetings each semester and provide volunteer services periodically.
