Editorial policy

We would rather publish a smaller set of well-supported listings than fill the directory with generic or stale pages. Specific classes, current schedules, transparent access details, and attributable sources take priority over broad school marketing copy.

Class descriptions may be summarized for clarity, but factual details should stay faithful to the source. Labels such as beginner, drop-in, audit, online, and application required are shown only when the available evidence supports them. Arlo does not certify teaching quality or career outcomes.

Search and browse views may consider schedule relevance, freshness, completeness, and user-selected filters. Paid placement is labeled “Featured” and does not bypass the rules that determine whether a listing is current, publishable, or eligible for indexing.

Automated checks can identify changed or missing source information. Ambiguous changes, user reports, and school corrections can be reviewed before publication. Material corrections should update both the listing and the evidence used to support it.
