Rock School, based out of BEST High School in Kirkland, is offering summer school classes in partnership with The Old FireHouse Teen Center in Redmond.
There are two summer camps available in August: For Those About to Rock and Rockergirl Camp (see information at end of article). In addition, the school is currently enrolling students for fall classes.
Rock School is a non-profit music education program for teens and young adults ages 12-21. In addition to showcasing its students, the shows raise funds for scholarships and gear for the program.
Rock School opened its Kirkland site in 2002 and the Seattle site in January 2005. Classes are held Monday through Thursday during the school year. For more information: www.rock-school.org or 828-3232.
