Our magnificent 5-1/2 acre estate and stunning mountain views set the stage for our beautiful and spacious Education Center which was newly renovated and expanded in late 2006. Our private campus now includes an additional continuing education classroom, a new student library, new offices for our staff and a new retail store for our students. The main classroom includes a convenient kitchenette and lots of places to picnic outdoors. A short hike, picnic or quick game of tennis are often favorite lunchtime activities.
