This year, our center continues to offer math classes using the Upstairs method for children of various ages. This method helps foster a love of learning, develop each child’s potential, and address a wide range of goals—from a thorough understanding of the school curriculum to achieving high scores in math competitions.
Creative activities in which children learn to make shapes out of paper help develop their fine motor skills, attention span, spatial reasoning, and perseverance.
You can’t teach a child how to learn, and you can’t teach them how to use their imagination. But you can show them how to create their own story, how to capture the world of their childhood and preserve it for their future selves.
In our classes, we not only explore the tools of creative writing, but we also read, play, and write stories that interest the children themselves. All of this will help a child open a window into their own imagination—that source of creativity and inspiration that will surely come in handy in the future, regardless of whether they ultimately choose to become a writer or not.
Is that even possible? Then what’s the point of it?
Our goal is for every child—whether they read or not—to have a positive experience exploring the world of literature. We’re confident that you can immerse yourself in the world of books, gain new experiences and knowledge, and discuss interesting topics without having to read the text beforehand. At our meetings, we simply chat, have fun, and enjoy ourselves.
This course will help children develop a healthy attitude toward money: spending mindfully, saving wisely, and viewing finances not as complicated numbers but as a tool for achieving their goals.
Since financial education is primarily a hands-on process in which parents play a leading role, we expect parents to be involved in helping their children complete the assignments at home.
A space where everyone can freely explore the world of literature in a warm and supportive atmosphere. You don’t need to read the books in advance; we’ll discover them together during our sessions, and in each one we’ll strive to find something interesting and meaningful.
During our sessions, we’ll ask deep questions and reflect on them. Our goal isn’t to decipher the author’s intentions, but to use literature to gain a better understanding of the world and ourselves. At the same time, a creative approach will remain an important part of our meetings: you can create illustrations, timelines, and even music tracks based on poems using AI.
In our classes, we not only explore the tools of creative writing, but we also read, play, and write stories that interest the kids themselves. All of this will help your teenager open a window into their own imagination—that source of creativity and inspiration that will surely come in handy in the future, regardless of whether they ultimately decide to become a writer or not.
What we do: We play strategy games like adults do—classic board games (game board, four players) and a few card games (deckbuilding). Ticket to Ride, Catan, Clank, and various other games 😉
