Youth Epic plans an intercultural tour, exposing the beautiful people of Jamaica to our Youth's Visions and Explorations while exposing our Youth to the culture and community of Jamaica!

Youth Epic would like to thank you in advance for ALL you do!

The Learning Circle is a homeschooling alternative, particularly for any student interested in the fine, performing or healing arts. We believe that children will learn their best when pursuing what they are fervently interested in, and we encourage them to pursue their passions in a productive and positive fashion!

We assist students in building a portfolio for preparation of higher learning and involve them in productions which have everything from a video recording, audio (CD) recording, photographs, newspaper reviews, etc.

We have resources for all art/music/dance and integration of all art forms available through a wide base of incredibly artistic and dedicated mentors in the Hudson Valley region.

We offer one-on-one tutoring in all academic areas as well as group classes.

We are interested in approaching academics via the arts for those who tend to learn better through the arts, or who are merely interested in learning academics through the arts.

We also offer strictly arts (music/dance/theatre/fine arts) for those who aren't interested in integrating their academics and simply wish to fulfill their arts curriculum requirements while having an enormous amount of fun and an incredibly enriching experience.

We have several locations throughout the Hudson Valley, including (but not limited to) Tillson, NY (just outside of New Paltz); Stone Ridge, NY (at Stone Ridge Center for the Arts); Woodstock, NY; Rosendale, NY; Kingston, NY; and New Paltz, NY.
