Registration Update for 2012-13
Registration for currently enrolled Piedmont Language School students is now open!
All students are encouraged to register now to ensure guaranteed placement in a class for the 2012-13 year. Please note that last year we had a wait list for some of our Spanish and Mandarin classes, so sign up now to ensure your student gets a spot.
As an extra incentive, students that register early will receive a special rate:
  • Spanish students will receive a $50 discount off their first month of tuition.
  • Mandarin students will receive a $20 discount off their first semester of tuition.
  • All students enrolling during the May 1 to May 31 open enrollment period will also receive these discounted rates.
Please note that all registration forms received after May 31 will be treated on a first come, first served basis.
