MORNING adventures have a different theme each week and provide a well-rounded educational experience focused on academics.
Instruction includes language arts skills (reading comprehension and writing organization); math skills (general operations and pre-algebra skills); and executive functioning skills (time management, event planning, and organization). Students will make connections between academic lessons and the real world in a supportive environment.
