STEAM/Art/Team Building
STEAM Workshop
In this maker-centered class, students combine science, technology, engineering, art, and math to explore real-world challenges through design and innovation. From building prototypes to conducting experiments, children engage in hands-on projects that spark curiosity, develop critical thinking, and inspire inventive problem-solving.
Art
In our Art Class, students explore color, texture, shape, and form using a variety of materials and techniques. Through a process-based approach, children are encouraged to express themselves freely while developing fine motor skills and artistic confidence.
Session often also includes an artist study, where students learn about renowned artists and try out their techniques, gaining exposure to different styles, mediums, and cultural perspectives while creating original work inspired by the masters.
Team Building & Collaboration
Our team-building activities are designed to strengthen communication, empathy, and group collaboration. Whether through cooperative games, creative challenges, or group problem-solving tasks, students build trust, develop leadership skills, and deepen their sense of community and belonging.
Musical Theater
Our Musical Theater Program introduces students to the joy of performing through singing, dancing, acting, and storytelling. In a playful, supportive environment, children build confidence and teamwork skills while bringing stories to life.
They also take part in prop-making, helping create the world of the play with their own hands. The program ends with a performance for friends and family—celebrating the students’ creativity and work.
Class includes one hour of Open Play before the class to support social emotional development: perspective taking, problem solving, and working together.
