    • If you were not in the intermediate classes last semester (new student to GSA, GSA student in our returning beginner classes, etc), we will follow the procedure outline in our requirement document. If you meet the requirement/threshold for automatic advancement , you will be notified. If you want to be considered for review, we will ask that you turn in everything we have asked for in order for you to be considered. Incomplete applications on deadline date will result in us automatically denying you for review/consideration.

Please ensure you have fulfilled the requirements by the end of the class. The class expectations are there for a reason and we ask that parents and students abide by them if they plan to be in the class or we do reserve the right to move you.
