How To Enroll For An On-Campus Course

There are three ways you can apply. The fastest and most convenient way is via email. The most personal way is to schedule a one-on-one consultation with Miss Vera. Snail mail is also an option.

Via email

Please download our enrollment application. Open the application form, fill in the blanks, and save the completed form. Then attach the completed form to an email with Application Form in the subject field, and send it to . A bill for the $20 application fee will be sent to you via return email at the address you specify.

Personal Consultation

If you are in the New York area, you may schedule a half-hour consultation with Miss Vera or her assistant. If you have not brought the completed application with you, you can complete one at that time. You can also ask questions. There is a $100 consultation fee for this private interview which should be presented in crisp clean bills and in a pink envelope (or you can decorate a white one). The $100 consultation fee can be applied to your first class. For a consultation appointment, please call 1-212-242-6449 during NY business hours.
