The Academy is
delighted to announce our move to 465 Herndon Parkway, Herndon
Virginia.
Our new facility is wonderful,
and full of life with classes for adults and children in TaeKwonDo and Music and now,
decorative art. We are considering the addition of
children's art classes to the curriculum. And we have a mascot:
Michelangelo...
We call him 'Caleb' for short. |
