How many students will be studying together per class?
Class size will range from individual classes to 10 students, depending on the topic.

How are students placed into their classes?
Upon arrival, students will take an assessment to give us insight into their strengths and the areas where they need improvement. Based on this assessment, they will be placed into the classes that will be the most beneficial to their education.

What if my child’s abilities are stronger than the assessment shows?
We constantly modify the groups as needed to ensure every student is getting the optimum opportunity and challenge in their learning.

Who are the educators?
Your child will be taught by an experienced educator and specialist from our team of experts.

Yes! We encourage students to take photos and to be able to communicate with their families. Phones should be silenced during classes and certain activities, though.

Do you recommend students bring any additional technology to camp?
We recommend students bring their own graphing calculator.

How will my child know when activities are happening?
All students join a WhatsApp group and all notifications are sent through this group chat.
They are also shared on a Google calendar that is updated daily with the schedule of activities.

Will you follow the schedule exactly as it is in the brochure?
No. We do our best to follow the planned schedule, but occasionally need to modify (so students are not taking tours in the pouring rain). We will swap out activities based on weather
and may need to shift certain full day schedules as well.

Are there chaperones during activities?
All activities have members of our staff chaperoning the students.
