Clay is an enthralling and tactile medium for children to express their artistic creativity. Students will learn basic skills in hand building pottery. We will introduce a new project or idea each class, presenting different clay techniques the children can use as a starting point to create a piece of art that is all their own. Taught by Created by Kids. $50 activity fee applied at registration.
Chess | Ages 3-8y
The Chess At Three approach teaches much more than the rudimentary rules of chess. Chess At Three students also learn: The Importance of Sportsmanship, Literacy, Chess History, and Math, just to name a few. Lessons include interactive moments, physical movements (chessercizes), and guidelines for game play at each level of development. Chess at Three utilizes a unique cast of characters, in fun and interactive stories. Through these stories children progressively learn to play and develop a love for chess. Our stories focus on why chess pieces move in their own unique ways and are supported by activities that cement chess knowledge in your child's mind.
Culinary Explorers | Ages 4-6y & 7-11y
Pack a bag and grab your passport, because we’re taking a culinary adventure around the world! Throughout the term, we’ll visit different countries across the globe while increasing our culinary skills through our fun, hands-on, from-scratch cooking classes. During our exploration, we'll apply our knowledge in periodic Chef Challenges, where students will have the opportunity to participate in friendly competitions to put those skills to the test! Our programming creates a platform for a lifetime of adventurous eating and purposeful life-skills. Students will be cooking up and tasting dishes like Jamaican jerk tofu with mango salsa, Japanese sushi rolls, Polish sweet potato pierogies, West African jollof rice, and more! Participating students receive a magnet with link to online recipe portal plus a culinary passport book to complete in class. Taught by Allergic to Salad.
Dance | Ages 3-5y & 6-8y
Dance With Joy is a ballet inspired class using story telling and imagination exercises to inspire your children. These classes emphasize technique, cultivate creative movement and allow children to explore improvisational dance with fun props and games. Every semester we go over a different ballet and choreograph a dance to perform to parents and family members. Taught by Dance with Joy.
NORY STEM | Ages 3-5y & 6-9y
In NORY Science & Engineering, we teach students "why" then "what" to help them become more inquisitive and to show them how to look at the world differently. Through hands-on experiments and collaborative projects, our class not only builds a foundational understanding of science and engineering but also a love of each at an early age. The course covers brand new topics such as: exploring non-Newtonian substances that change state with pressure and investigating the properties of crazy potions, helping to demonstrate chemical reactions. Along the way, children learn about the Scientific Method using a controlled variable and study the method of the design thinking process. Families receive a weekly recap note, that highlight key learning points, to help keep track of how their scientists are progressing.
Pop Art | Ages 7-11y
Students will explore the exciting world of Pop Art by studying the iconic works of famous modern artists, incorporating those ideas into projects using a wide variety of mediums including clay, painting, printmaking, and textiles. We’ll learn about some of the most famous pop artists, like Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Claus Oldenberg, Takayashi Murakami, and more. Kids will be drawn in by the exciting ideas, bold colors, and unusual materials while learning about these beloved artists. Taught by Created by Kids.
Tennis | Ages 3-6y
Super Duper Tennis brings the FUN back in the game of tennis for kids ages 3 years and up by transforming unconventional spaces into sized-down portable kids courts - with equipment fit for your child - to make the game more accessible, enjoyable and easier to learn.
