  All listed classes can be adapted to group size, age and grade level. Many (not all) can also be adapted to varying time periods to meet class organizational needs.

While this is a list of pre-set classes, we will work with you to create classes designed specifically to meet your school’s needs and goals. All of our curriculum is designed to meet the New Jersey Board of Education’s specific T&E learning objectives, and can and do blend a variety of disciplines, including reading, math, science, language and learning skills. After you book or when you visit or tour, ask to see our detailed curriculum book for more information on this, and descriptions of the classes and their specific adaptations and learning objective assignments.
