  • SVSTM's online anatomy class offers the same in-depth approach to the human body as our regular classes, while still allowing you the flexibility of learning in your free time, and on your own schedule.  Weekly discussion boards, quizzes, handouts and instructor interactions will be used to help enhance, explain and expound upon the notebook and textbooks that are included in this course.
  • We have just revised our 630-hour Professional Massage Therapy Part-Time Program to offer a 16-month option with on-line anatomy classes and two weekends a month to cover the bodywork classes and lab times.  Saturday classes would include two bodywork classes from 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m., a break for lunch, then the afternoon class would run from 2:00 -6:00 p.m.  Sunday labs would be held from 1:00-7:00 p.m., giving the students two consecutive lab times.  Please give us a call at the school for more information.

  • New classes start during the months of January, May, and September.
