Gateway Fencing Academy offers Beginner and Intermediate classes at several public community recreational centers in St. Louis County. These classes meet once a week for an hour over the course of six weeks. They are available to residents as well as nonresidents, and are set up for various age groups. Please contact the recreation centers directly for class details, such as fees. Fees include the use of our fencing equipment.

We also offer classes that are not open to the general public in a number of private schools, to students as an after-school program.
