How it works:
Students will be divided into groups based upon their level of experience. If you are unsure of your child’s level of experience, contact us, and we will make sure that they are placed in the level best suited for them.
Snacks will be provided each day, and students will be encouraged to join in on fun break activities to refresh their brains.
Lessons will be given based on students’ levels, and each week will cover a curriculum that both new and veteran students can benefit from.
