To ensure a quality learning experience, each class requires a minimum number of students to be enrolled. If this minimum is not met, we may need to condense classes or adjust schedules accordingly. We appreciate your understanding and support as we strive to provide the best educational opportunities for all participants.
Please encourage your friends to join, as more students mean more engaging and dynamic classes!
Our STEM program welcomes students from grades 1-6, offering a unique learning experience.
We group students into three collaborative cohorts:
- Grades 1-2,

- Grades 5-6.
This approach allows for peer-to-peer learning, with younger students gaining inspiration from their older peers, while older students deepen their understanding by mentoring others.
