Hybrid Afternoon Classes
FACT...
Having fun and being excited about what one is learning helps the brain learn and remember far better than boring "have to" type learning. Plus, it keeps a student coming back for more.

Quests are Monday, Wednesday, Fridays between 1:00-3:00 p.m. Students are also welcome to join for lunch and recess starting at 12:00 with advance notice.
