Programming for this age range includes aspects of science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics. Additional aspects of programming may include social and emotional development activities and mindfulness practices.

For students needing additional assistance with reaching math and reading goals for their age level, we have a separate space dedicated to one-on-one tutoring and ongoing progress monitoring.
