ENROLL AT THE BCB VIA STUDIO DIRECTOR.

Class Placement

The criteria used to determine a student’s level consists of: technical ability, age, personal maturity and work ethic, attendance, safety, and class availability. The first two weeks of a semester will act as an evaluation period where instructors will observe students and determine whether a level change is required. Once the two weeks have ended, all students will remain in the level they have been assigned to for the duration of the semester. This will provide consistency for both students and instructors, facilitating a better learning environment. Students will be reassessed at the end of each semester to determine if new class placements are needed for the following semester.
