Why “ASL Spring?”
ASL Spring was coined by our founder Jon Urquhart with feedback from Deaf staff and community members.
The sign for SPRING in ASL is the same as the sign for GROW. Ultimately, that is what we are here to do, grow your ASL skills, grow your understanding of Deaf culture, and grow your connection to the Deaf community.
ASL Spring embodies our mission.
Who is Jon Urquhart?

He is a Boston native, and moved to North Carolina after high school to receive his Bachelor of Arts degree in American Sign Language from Gardner-Webb University in 2016. He has been in Boston, MA ever since.

We understand that life can get ahead of us sometimes, so all of our classes are on-demand, meaning you can go at your own pace without having to worry about missing a lesson.
