New Taekwondo schools open, and old ones close all the time. The best thing to do is to check your local phone book directory, and find a Taekwondo school in your area that is accredited through a nationally, or internationally recognized organization. Then go and visit a class to see if you like what they teach, and how they teach it. Talk to current students and parents of children in the class, and get their feedback. If available, ask to participate in a trial period to see if it is what you are looking for.
Keep in mind, it is better to travel some distance to find a good, qualified and certified instructor, than to go to the closest, or cheapest school near you.
