We offer a collaborative and engaging learning environment for students in mid to upper elementary grades!
In Fall of 2026, for students in 2nd-4th grade, we are offering single & multi-day programming M-Th. Our focus is exploration, pursuing curiosity, building higher-level + critical thinking skills, and fostering collaboration within mixed-level groups.
[For other learning age groups, click here: Kinder-1st + 5th-6th grade]
Our Focus:
- We prioritize higher-level, meaningful learning by encouraging our students to ask questions, engage with the material individually, form their own opinions, and approach problems in innovative ways.
- We believe that curiosity is a guiding force and use this philosophyโalongside a blend of programs, activities, and learning gamesโto guide our approach to curriculum and concepts.
- We strengthen socialization, collaboration, and investigation through hands-on projects, manipulatives arts, music, movement and indoor/outdoor play.
