Schedule: Fall 2025
Friday, 5-7pm and Saturday, 4-6pm
Each course runs as a series of eight sessions twice a week, thoughtfully designed to balance exploration, hands-on creativity, and meaningful reflection. Classes are 120 minutes long, with the first half dedicated to guided discovery and discussion, and the second half focused on imaginative, student-led projects. Whether your child is an eager question-asker, a budding writer, or a quiet thinker with ideas waiting to bloom, every session is built to inspire curiosity, confidence, and joy in the learning process.
September: Life of Poets
In this series, children will step into the lives and lines of history’s most iconic poets to explore how language shapes the way we see, feel, and make sense of the world. Over eight sessions, we’ll walk alongside the rhythmic brilliance of Langston Hughes, the introspective wonder of Emily Dickinson, the dramatic flair of Edgar Allan Poe, and more. Each session reveals how these poets transformed ordinary moments into extraordinary meaning using sound, structure, and symbolism as their tools.
​
Through guided readings, expressive writing prompts, and creative performance, students will learn to listen closely, write boldly, and play with words in unexpected ways. Rather than memorize or analyze poetry through traditional academic lenses, children will adopt the poet’s mindset by discovering their own unique voice. They'll do so by experimenting with style, and finding beauty in the everyday.

October: Brave Biology
In this series, children will journey through the wild, wondrous, and sometimes weird world of biology, guided by the fearless thinkers who first dared to ask, “What makes life… alive?” From early naturalists peering through microscopes to modern biologists decoding DNA, students will discover how biology is the study of bravery: the courage to observe closely, to question deeply, and to explore what lies beneath the surface. Over eight sessions, we’ll uncover the adventures of scientists like Charles Darwin, Louis Pasteur, and Gregor Mendel to trace how their bold ideas reshaped what we know about cells, organisms, ecosystems, and evolution.
​
Through interactive experiments, storytelling, and creative investigations, students will step into the shoes of biologists to see the world with new eyes. This isn’t a textbook approach, but rather an invitation to explore our natural world. Whether dissecting a leaf or designing an imaginary creature, learners will come away with a deeper respect for the fragile, complex systems that sustain life.
November: The Great Civilizations
In this series, children will travel through time to encounter the world’s most influential civilizations: each one a beacon of innovation, resilience, and cultural brilliance. From the ziggurats of Mesopotamia to the mountain cities of the Inca, students will explore how humans built cities, told stories, developed belief systems, and engineered lasting legacies.
Over eight sessions, learners will step into ancient marketplaces, decode forgotten scripts, trace the rise of empires, and imagine life in worlds shaped by pharaohs, philosophers, warriors, and inventors. Each class blends immersive storytelling, hands-on creation, and reflective thinking to help children connect the past to their own place in the world. Rather than memorizing names and dates, students will discover how ancient ideas still shape the way we live, learn, and lead today.
