What programs do you offer?
Our core programs are our school year programs with after school program from 3:30 - 5:30 PM offered 3, 4, or 5 days a week focusing on math, language arts, and science for grades 2 - 6. The idea is to have kids hop on over from James W Hill or St. Lukes (reach out to coordinate pick up logisitcs), spend some time each day on reinforcing their learning and building a strong foundation and mastery in these subject areas.
We know after school and evening can be busy for parents so we want to bring this in the neighborhood to help parents and kids juggle those evening schedules with one less thing to worry about!
In addition, we offer march break and summer camp programs - we have an exciting partnership with Bio Troopers for a science themed march break.
We'll continue to add and offer speciality workshops on the weekends. Right now we have a free chess club and a design thinking workshop for older grades (6-8) in the works!

How flexible are the daily school year programs? Can my child attend for 1 hour instead of 2? 2 days instead of 3?
We are full of great questions here! We want to be flexible without losing the value in what we provide. We aim to support children to show sustained growth and impact, and that requires time. We understand schedules can be hard so while we have the flexibility of 3 or 4 or 5 days, we need the 2 hours each day to design learning that can go deep and cover the range each day.
What's your curriculum approach?
Our curriculum is focused on building a strong foundation aligned with the Ontario standards, but also moving beyond where needed to build a strong foundation and mastery. We look for curriculum that is world class and meets our learners where they are. As an example - for Math, we are excited to be able to have a range of options like Beast Academy, Math Mammoth, Singapore Math, and material from Marshall Cavendish Education used in some of Ontarios leading private schools.
We have the flexibility to be able to partner with the best of what's out there, not just in Canada but also around the world. Call us or stop by to chat abour our curriculum in action!
Why not franchise with a known big brand?
Great question. While our focus is on learning, we want the flexiblity to really tailor what we do to the needs of our community.
In addition to our daily program offering that works with the school schedule in the neighborhood, we also want to be able to offer weekend workshops and use the space for community events like chess clubs for children.
Working with a big national franchise takes away that flexibility of creating something unique for the community! It's more risky doing this ourselves, but we have a strong vision and passion to make it happen!
How much does it cost?
Based on the program, the pricing is different but we are doing our best to keep it affordable for families in the neighborhood. Reach out and we can discuss the available options based on your needs.
I'm in! Where do I sign up?
Reach out to us for a conversation. We'll go through your goals for your child, work on a learning plan together, and discuss the best schedule that will work for you. We aim to keep our groups small, so reach out soon!
We will open our doors fully starting in Feb!
