Jump into our afterschool improvisation class and learn skills that are practiced by professionals all over the world. Each session we offer new games and skill sets and classes culminate in an impromptu performance on the final day, during regular class time.
Our high energy, professional applications focus on the process of each student and includes a strong focus on a myriad of life skills which include: Spontaneity, body control, playfulness, concentration, imagination, flexibility, positive thinking and increased confidence in communication.

Improvisation, when taught correctly, sets up a safe and fun environment for a student to undergo self-directed learning, hone in on leadership skills and discover hidden talents. We also must mention that this class hysterical and fun making the process extremely enjoyable! Parents welcome to watch at any time and don’t forget to save the date for the final day!

Chess Kidz uses songs, stories, and dances to bring the game of chess to children in a fun and exciting way.  This wonderful learning experience not only teaches children to play chess now, but also prepares them for life later by enhancing their critical thinking skills, mental discipline, problem solving, and self-esteem.

Chess Kidz will be at the Academy on Mondays from 3:45 - 4:45 pm for K-8.  They'll meet in Ms. Audrey's classroom downstairs.  Sessions match our academic quarters.  The second session runs for eight weeks, from October 20 through December 8.  The cost for the 2nd quarter session is $85.  Flyer
