All courses are project based and taught by accomplished professionals who have a passion for inspiring young minds. An average student to instructor ratio of 6 to 1 allows for plenty of individual attention as students explore, create and immerse themselves in an environment that is more like a production studio than a classroom.

To create a more balanced experience, we incorporate outdoor recreation breaks throughout the day – we beleive, like you, that kids should move!
