Welcome to our year-round ASL class designed especially for young learners ages 3–7 who already have basic ASL knowledge. This 45-week live online program is part of our full curriculum series and follows a structured learning path. Classes are offered twice a year, with Fall Sessions beginning in September and Spring Sessions beginning in January. Students meet weekly and progress together through the curriculum.
In this course, children will build on their ASL foundation by expanding vocabulary, improving comprehension, and beginning to combine signs into simple phrases and early conversations. By the end of the year, learners will be more confident signing and ready to move into higher-level ASL classes.
