Prices*

Couple $2,595.00
Shared Double $1,395.00
Registration is limited. Previous Winter Schools have sold out. Registration fees are based on current exchange rates; the Institute reserves the right to assess a fee, should rates change significantly at the dollar’s expense. The Institute will make every effort to help find roommates for students who wish to take advantage of the shared-double rate. If no roommate is available, the difference between the shared-double rate and the single-occupancy rate will be assessed.
* All prices increase $200.00 per person after October 15, 2010.
