Our Programs
Academic Year Courses
Our academic year program runs classes after school and on weekends. Students learn how to ask meaningful questions, actively seek answers, and think critically — building a problem solving foundation they will use beyond the classroom.
Summer Camps
Our two-week summer camps are designed to keep students engaged and sharpen their skills for the upcoming school year.
Mathematics
Build a deep understanding of mathematics and develop the confidence to approach new, interesting challenges.
Language Arts
Enhance your communication skills by exploring literature, improving writing techniques, and understanding the power of language in expressing ideas.
Science
Ask questions about the physical world and develop observational, analytical, and scientific thinking skills.
Lifelong Skills
Critical Thinking
Students focus on advanced problem solving and conceptual understanding — not rote memorization.
Active Learning
Students lead the discovery process, guided by motivating questions from expert instructors.
Constructive Collaboration
Students build strong relationships with their cohort as they solve challenging problems together.
Effective Communication
Students learn how to precisely explain their ideas, questions, and solutions across any subject and topic they tackle.
