WHAT WE DO

Active Learning at Every Age.

Helping Children Discover Their Gifts. Helping Our Community Advance Our Children.

Active learning is more than tests. It develops skills and passions that carry through a lifetime. Through active learning, children:

  • Explore activities outside traditional classrooms
  • Get hands-on, engaging lessons that spark creativity
  • Learn the connection between social-emotional learning and lifelong success
  • Discover new gifts, hidden talents, and lifelong passions

Active learning doesn’t let children sit back. It propels them forward. It guides them toward their own path.

Working With Families To Create Sustainable Learning

Education crosses generations. We work with families at every step, helping with:

  • Home-based support
  • Culturally-sensitive lesson plans
  • Bilingual education

We’re here to respect you. We’re here to support you. We’re here to help you build true generational success.

Active Education

Active education is true hands-on, experiential learning. Our students discover excellence in many fields, including:

  • Music and Art
  • STEM
  • Physical Activities

It’s hands-on. It’s engaging. It’s a way to develop new talents and forge new skills. It makes learning real.

Social Emotional Learning

Social Emotional Learning is the backbone of all life skills. We incorporate them in everything we do. Our programs include:

  • Interpersonal skills
  • Emotional control
  • Empathy, understanding, emotional insight
  • Self-knowledge

These are the tools to take charge of your life. These are the tools to take control.
