02ProgrammesEvery term, every level
Six ways in
02
Art studio (ages 5–14)
Painting, sculpture, ceramics. Quarterly student gallery shows the fridge door can't compete with.
03
Chess club (ages 6–14)
Taught by rated players who still compete. Beginners to tournament prep, grouped by level rather than age.
04
Robotics (ages 9–14)
From kit robots to Arduino and on to competition builds, with a team entered in a regional league each spring.
05
Drama (ages 8–14)
Two productions a year. Acting, voice, stagecraft — no audition required.
06
Summer camps
Themed week-long full-day camps in June + July. Lunch included, screens not.
Built by teachers who wanted smaller rooms.
We started this after fifteen years in classrooms of thirty, convinced that the magic happens at ten. Small groups, real materials, and teachers with time to notice what each kid is actually curious about.
- Ten kids per class — never more
- Teachers are credentialed educators, not sitters
- Progress notes home every fortnight
03A term, week by weekStructure kids can feel
What ten weeks looks like.
Weeks 1–2 · Foundations
Skills, safety, and the term's big project introduced. New kids find their footing fast in a room of ten.
Weeks 3–8 · The build
The long middle where the real work happens — iterating, failing safely, trying again. Progress notes home each fortnight.
Weeks 9–10 · The showcase
Every term ends with something to show: a gallery night, a tournament, a demo day, a performance. Families invited.

Parent questions
What are the class sizes?+
Ten kids maximum, always, with a credentialed lead teacher. Robotics and drama add an assistant.
Can we try before enrolling?+
Yes — the first session of any term is a paid drop-in ($45). If you enrol afterwards, it counts toward the term.
What about missed sessions?+
One make-up session per term in a parallel class, scheduled with the front desk.
How do pickups work?+
Authorised-pickup list per child, photo-checked at the door. After-school pickup runs from partner schools within a mile.
Are staff background-checked?+
Every adult in the building — teachers, assistants, front desk — clears a full background check annually.
Is there financial aid?+
A limited number of assisted places each term. Ask at the front desk — the conversation is always private.
Give them a term of curiosity.
Terms fill fast at ten kids a class — register now for the next intake.
