About
Academy for Young Achievers includes daily Spanish instruction for infants through Pre-K, STEM activities, and project-based hands-on investigations. Children take part in outdoor learning, field trips (with possible field-trip fees), and time in a basketball court-sized indoor gym for running, playing, dancing, and exploring. They also spend time in a garden planting, tending, and eating tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and more, as well as climbing and swinging on playground equipment.
