Included in instruction are basic to advanced dance steps and dance etiquette, with workshops at specific or combined levels. End the day with a “Grande Ball”. Request this workshop.
Debate
Logic and debate are the building blocks of healthy discussion in a family and the principal means by which society is governed and changed. Learn the basics, and then participate in an organized debate with other participants. Request this workshop.

Payment options available:
- You may use a purchase order number if you have funding available. POs may only be used up to May 20th, so please keep that in mind! Many of our families wait to send in receipts until they have booked any camps and workshops, so that their funding is used first for the registration.
- We accept Visa and Master Card. You can pay on our website or over the phone, and we will issue a receipt which you could then use to claim funding later on.
- We accept cheques made out to WISDOM Home Schooling or The Gilbertine Institute.

Remember, an event can't run without sufficient numbers to offset costs. Because we don't charge much more than absolutely necessary just to cover costs, we have to have a minimum number of participants registered.
Cancellation: If we have to cancel an event due to low registration, we will refund your money. However, if you cancel within two weeks of a scheduled event, your money can not be refunded. Your last-minute cancellation may otherwise close down an entire event, if the funds are no longer there for us to run it.
