26/27 School Year Holiday Schedule
Here's when the workshop closes and when programs pause for the year. Exact dates for the next year are always posted before it begins.
Fully closed
The workshop is closed — no staff on site.

Programs paused
Forge Academy classes are off for these weeks and resume the day after each break ends. Day camps run during the Thanksgiving, winter, and spring breaks — those are separate sign-ups.

Forge Academy days off (Day Camp days)
On these holidays we host a Day Camp instead of Forge Academy, so the class that lands on that day doesn't meet. This is most impactful for Monday classes. The curriculum keeps moving that week — affected families make up the session in any same-level class that same week so they don't fall behind.

Forge Academy is one yearly tuition for the full school year — it isn't tied to how many classes fall in a given month, so holiday closures don't change what you pay. You can pay it in full or split it into nine even monthly installments. Families who enroll partway through the year pay a prorated tuition based on the number of classes left in the year.
