Most North House courses are designed for students 18+, but many welcome youth under age 18, and several allow for a young person to attend and receive our Intergenerational Discount of 25% off their tuition if they sign up with a full-paying adult.
You can find the courses with the Intergenerational Discount here. The information about specific ages allowed is in the course's description.
