2026–2027 Class Offerings Preview

A Note About Class Offerings

At Arise, classes are shaped by the gifts, interests, and involvement of our community.

What you’ll see below is a preview of classes that have been submitted or are currently in development for the upcoming year. These reflect what is genuinely taking shape within our community. 

However, because Arise is a collaborative model, the final class schedule will be built after registration closes, once we know the size and makeup of our community.

A Collaborative Model

Not every class listed here will make the final schedule—but this is a real and honest picture of what is emerging.

The final offerings will be shaped by:

  • Enrollment numbers
  • Age group needs
  • Parent involvement and teaching roles

As enrollment comes together and families step into teaching and support roles, these ideas have the potential to become part of the final schedule. We will meet as a collaborative on May 21, 2026 to finalize the Class Schedule.
