During STEM enrichment classes, students embark on an exciting journey of discovery and exploration through hands-on, interactive lessons. These dynamic sessions are designed to spark their natural curiosity and instill essential skills like focus, attention to detail, and the ability to follow instructions. As students navigate each new experiment, they learn to approach challenges as budding problem-solvers, tapping into their creativity and critical thinking abilities.
Creativity
Art
The Art Enrichment class is designed to cultivate your child’s creativity and ignite their imagination. Students dive into the realms of art and literature, studying renowned artists and their acclaimed works. Throughout the class, each student has the chance to experiment with a variety of mediums — from pencils and paints to oil pastels and beyond.
Discovery
Animals & their Habitats
This exciting enrichment class focuses on “Animals and Their Habitats,” where students explore and learn about various animals and the unique environments they call home. Students create models of 10 different habitats and delve into questions such as: Who lives in the Arctic? Who thrives in the Savanna? Each habitat is crafted to provide an understanding of the diverse ecosystems around the world. We invite you to join us on this educational journey and discover the fascinating answers to these questions!
