Click on the links above to see more information for that class.

Junior Choir

Our Junior Choir class allows children to explore their musical talents. Throughout the classes, students will learn to master several songs, develop music theory skills, and practice pitch matching and rhythm. It’s a fun and engaging way for kids to make music with friends. A performance will be held at the end of the session.

Art

Our art class encourages creativity through a variety of projects inspired by famous artists. Students will work with different mediums and techniques, developing their artistic skills and learning about color mixing, perspective, and layout.

Science Lab

This hands-on class makes science exciting with experiments exploring topics like the sun, light, magnets, and more. Kids will engage in fun activities, learn scientific principles, and develop a love for discovery and exploration.

Funsical Fitness

Designed for younger children, this class combines fitness with fun. Through music and movement, kids will enhance their coordination, imagination, and concentration.

Play/Musical Practice

In this class, students will gain confidence through acting and singing in a short play or musical. They will work on props and costumes, and have the option to participate as narrators or stagehands if they prefer. The session ends with a performance showcasing their hard work.

Build It

Our Build It! class encourages creativity and problem-solving as children design and build projects like catapults, marble runs, and bridges. Using materials such as paper, cardboard, scissors, glue, hot glue, skewers, and tacks, students work individually or in small groups to explore hands-on engineering in fun and practical ways.

Gather ‘Round

This comprehensive class integrates various subjects through unit studies. Using the Gather ‘Round curriculum, children will explore topics in a way that encourages family connection and hands-on learning.

Spanish

This beginner Spanish class introduces basic vocabulary through songs, games, and conversation. We’ll start with greetings, the alphabet, numbers, colors, classroom items, and phrases for ordering at a restaurant. In each new session, we’ll review what we’ve learned so far and then expand with new vocabulary and sentences focused on a specific theme, like a farm, grocery store, church, or the beach!

PE

Our PE class will include recess favorites like dodgeball, kickball, capture the flag, and many more. It’s a great way for kids to stay active, have fun, and develop physical skills while enjoying time outdoors. This is the only class that is off-site. We meet at a local park.

Computer Programming

The Beginner Programming with C# course introduces students to the fundamentals of coding, including variables, loops, and classes. This class can be basic or go as deep as the student(s) want.

STEM

Students will explore mechanical principles through hands-on projects using LEGO Technic and LEGO Powered Up motors. Along the way, they’ll apply basic math and physics concepts to pulleys, gears, and other simple machines. Each week includes exciting, interactive activities that spark curiosity and connect STEM learning to real-world applications. Every session has a unique theme—past examples include basic mechanics (gears, pulleys, levers), Battle Bots, and Great Ball Contraptions.

Scratch Coding

In our Scratch coding classes, students learn the basics of programming through hands-on, creative projects. In the beginner class, we focus on understanding how Scratch blocks work, learning fundamental coding concepts, and creating simple projects that can be completed in about an hour. In one-on-one private lessons, students dive deeper into real game logic, explore advanced Scratch techniques, and get support as they design and build their own games. Whether just starting out or ready for more advanced challenges, our classes are a fun and supportive way to grow problem-solving skills and spark creativity.

Computer Essentials

This class is designed for middle school students who want to build practical computer skills. Students will get hands-on instruction in navigating Windows, using the file system, browsing the internet safely, managing email, and working with Microsoft Office applications like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Lessons are tailored to the student’s pace and experience level, helping them gain confidence with everyday technology in a supportive environment. The one-on-one classes can be tailored to meet the needs of your child.

Electronics

In this class, students will explore the basics of electronics using breadboards, LEDs, buttons, and a 5V power supply to build simple circuits. We’ll use resistors and capacitors only as needed—mainly to support LEDs and timer chips—while focusing on the fascinating world of Logic Gates (NOT, AND, OR) and how they let electricity make decisions. Through hands-on projects and truth tables, students will see how these simple parts form the foundation of modern computers and digital technology.
