There are two main categories for our projected programs; Summer sessions and After-school sessions - the format for each would be very different. Participation in one does not obligate nor guarantee participation in another. Students (and/or parents) may pick and choose what they will attend.

After-school Programs


There is so many fun things that we can do after school has let out that your student will miss the bus to attend. This is an opportunity for them to learn new skills and live new experiences that most will never receive in traditional classroom settings - all while having FUN at the same time. All of our activities has the potential of developing talents within your student that no one else knew was there. Activities can consist of, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Homework tutoring
  • Book club reading/discussions
  • Vocabulary development
  • Art workshops (painting, drawing, dioramas, figures)
  • Computer skills training (educational/office applications/internet)
  • Web Design workshops (software tools, homepages)
  • Graphic Design and layout workshops
  • Creative Writing workshops and Publishing seminars
  • Interactive storytelling workshops
  • Computer-aided music/audio/video production

Summer Programs


Our summer program is our BIGGEST project. Whereas our after-school program consists of many different activities that are initially independent from each other, the summer program is centered solely around a Role-playing game system that is designed specifically for the educational and social development of all participants. Groups of around 8 students, aged 10 to 16 are matched with an experienced Storyteller that will assist them in the creation of interactive story in which they all play their roles as characters.


Imagine this...your student, after a whole year of dredging off to school every morning while you go to work... your child can now engage in a creative group project that draws upon every ounce of knowledge, talent and social skills and puts them to the test. They will use what they have developed all year and actually apply it in a FUN and creative way. This, in recent pedagogical studies, is an example of a new paradigm of learning.
