We provide a safe and welcoming afterschool environment, with a wide range of activities and opportunities for our students to grow.

Lifelong Learning

We inspire our students to be lifelong learners, encourage creative expression and build their sense of self-confidence.

Our Approach

Project-Based Learning Curriculum

Project-Based Learning Curriculum

At each level of development, whether working on their own or in teams, we teach our students to solve problems by asking questions, utilizing their own skills and learning new ones.

Social-Emotional Learning

Social-Emotional Learning

Our activities are geared towards providing our students with a framework of skills from which they can set and achieve goals, show empathy for others, build positive relationships, and make good decisions

Fun, Interactive Environment

Fun, Interactive Environment

We provide our instructors with a whole range of tools to answer the questions, ‘How can we make this more fun? How can we get our students more involved?’

Socratic Method

Socratic Method

We use a question-based approach to help our students process information and develop a deeper understanding of their own learning. Skillful questions act as a starting point for further exploration, discussions encourage students to view learning as a collaborative process, and encouraging students to use observations and evidence to support their ideas builds their self-confidence.

Enrichment Activities

Making Learning Fun

Our enrichment clubs offer students opportunities to learn through hands-on activities and experiments, through a mix of traditional and nontraditional topics including STEM, chess, cooking, and entrepreneurship. On top of these exciting and unique opportunities not typically available during the school day, students also receive daily homework help, and time for physical activities, friendship, and community building.
