Tim Morehouse School Pods - Registration is Now Open

School Pods will be Starting Tuesday, Sept. 29!

Don’t want your kids to be home all day, but also afraid to send them to school with hundreds of other students?

We have the Answer:

Tim Morehouse School Pods!

Tim Morehouse School Pods will provide a structured and supervised in-person “school day” for small groups of students doing their school online. The School Pods are intended as learning spaces for students who are doing school remotely but whose parents may still want their child to have an in-person experience albeit in a smaller and more contained setting.

Instead of being at home on their computers, students will take their online classes at one of our facilities with in-person academic support, physical activities and other enrichment programs being run for them throughout the day when they are not “in class”.

Every student will have a workstation to take their online classes and during their breaks our staff will be there to support them with any school work that they need to complete in addition to running other activities for them.

Enrolment for the 2020-2021 Fencing Season!

Screen_Shot_2015-07-20_at_8.48.42_AM.jpg

Enrolment for the fall fencing season is now available! We've re-opened our facilities for lessons and small group training sessions, and we look forward to continuing our in-person programs into the fall months!

We ask anyone enrolling for the upcoming season to review our Terms of Service carefully especially around our Covid-19 policies and procedures. We want everyone to understand how we will handle various situations and to understand the rules. By enrolling in the club, you are agreeing to our policies including our health and safety rules, refund policies and temporary closure rules for Covid-19. We appreciate everyone’s understanding as we navigate through this difficult time together.

We plan to host a few Zoom Q&A sessions over the next few weeks and we would also be happy to talk with any of you directly if you have questions about the upcoming season.

Important Notes from the Terms of Service:

  • If a facility must temporarily close because of a Covid-related issue, the Club will switch temporarily to online classes and lessons, which will be held at the same time as the in-person classes that were scheduled. The allotted time, rates and packages will remain the same as the in-person classes and lessons.

  • In addition, there will be a Mandatory Attendance or Late Cancel policy during the first two weeks of any temporary closure. A temporary facility closure is considered 14 consecutive days or less. Once the two-week window passes, you can choose to suspend or cancel, or to move your program to our online programs. 

  • After 14 Consecutive Days: If a facility closure extends past 14 consecutive days, then in-person classes and lessons will continue online at the same time and under the same programs. But you then have the option to pause or cancel. You may also reschedule online private lessons to 10am-3pm on weekdays and, schedule permitting, for later times in the day.

  • Same Day Testing For Covid Exposure: If a student is exposed to Covid-19, we ask that they report this to the club immediately and then go get a rapid same-day test and report to the club the result.

We would strongly recommend reading the full document, as things are operating a bit differently due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Please read our full updated terms of service at the following link:

https___cdn.evbuc.com_images_105056222_448739827388_1_original.jpg

Aspire to Inspire National Tour is a virtual series of panels that provide intimate knowledge of the student-athlete experience for fencers at colleges around the country.

The vision is to make the student-athlete experience more accessible for fencers in middle school/high school, especially during the pandemic. There will be five panels (comprised of alumni athletes from three universities per panel) which will take place between July 11 - 12, 2020.

This series of panels will provide valuable insight on the student-athlete experience at a diverse group of schools across the country. Each panelist will speak about the following topics with respect to their alma mater and their sport:

1) Student-Athlete's General Experience

2) Resources for Students and Athletes

3) Why They Chose Their Alma Mater

4) Application Process Considerations Based on Their College Experience
