Join us Spring 2026 for a new set of ASL Classes. These are virtual classes, facilitated by Kristen Suiter and Siena Rafter, for people of all levels in their language study journey.
INTRO TO ASL – Apply Here
In this class, we will build your vocabulary in American Sign Language (get ready to be able to sign entire conversations!) and explore Deaf American culture and history. From learning the ABCs and how to introduce yourself to studying Deaf representation in media, this offering will cover the basics of American Sign Language and American Deaf culture.
ASL LEVEL 2 – Apply Here
This ASL Level 2 course is designed to continue your skill development in expressive signing. The focus of this course is to prepare students for non-verbal interaction and communication with members of the deaf community. You’ll learn useful vocabulary and you’ll be able to hold meaningful conversations about various topics. But it’s not all serious – you’ll also learn how to tell jokes, use common expressions and sayings, and relay anecdotes to your audience. We’ll also focus on teaching you more about the deaf community, so you gain a better appreciation for deaf culture, activism, and learn how you can get involved.
ASL LEVEL 3 – Apply Here
Level 3 will continue to develop and strengthen students’ storytelling and conversational skills! Participants will continue to become more comfortable in utilizing their visual space and expressing their own thoughts and ideas through American Sign Language. This course will also feature more in depth explorations of Deaf culture and how this current administration is affecting Deaf lives across the world.
