Course Descriptions

Inventor's Camp

Taught by Ms. Darcy Aksamitowski, Early Childhood and Lower School Division Head

Have you ever wanted to share, create, and build all the amazing ideas in your mind? This class will give you the opportunity to use the design process to put your greatest ideas to the test. Students will learn about some famous inventors and how they generated their ideas, they will work through various invention challenges, and then, ultimately, create (and “build”) their own invention to share with their peers. Students are bound to have a ton of fun and will work to create something they had no idea existed (yet)!

LEGO Robotics

Taught by Ms. Darcy Aksamitowski, Early Childhood and Lower School Division Head

Students will use LEGOs to build models with motors and sensors. They will then work to program their models and explore various “big idea” questions relating to mathematics, science, technology, engineering, and literacy. By working in pairs, students will also focus on improving and developing essential skills like problem-solving, collaboration, and communication. Most importantly, they will have a lot of fun.

Little Chefs and Manners

Taught by Ms. Ashley Smith, Kindergarten Teacher

Experience hands-on cooking and baking activities! We will develop social and life skills by working together to create sweet and savory treats! Each day will focus on a different theme as little chefs learn the basic foundations of baking while working as part of a team. The course doubles as a manners and etiquette class, as we practice those skills! If your child has not yet learned to set a popper table, leave it to us to teach them. Let them impress you and your friends as they place a napkin on their lap and acquire a foundation of etiquette beyond please and thank you.
