What families say

“This was the best experience for my daughter who loves building and making things with her hands! The instruction was incredible! Thank you for a great year at ILA!” — Amanda H.

“You guys are really organized so the time my kid spends in your class is really productive and he loves all the projects and I love the variety of experiences that he gets and exposure to lots of different tools, etc, including design software... great for exposure, he's not ready for too much more of that yet, so it was just the right amount. Money and time very well spent. Thanks” — Jack F.

“My son thrived in his two semesters of UW. He learned so many skills and found some interests that will go beyond his time with UW. He was so proud of every single project he brought home, and watching his growth over the year was awesome.” — Caleb K.
