We have designed a carefully crafted combination of courses specifically tailored to elementary and middle-school students, giving them an opportunity to learn about essential concepts while having fun! 

Our team at Excellerate Learning Studio uses the power of cutting-edge learning science to get a deep understanding of each student’s individual needs. By utilizing personalized platforms and providing coaching, our expertise can help you or your student achieve remarkable results over the summer

Becoming a children’s book author is an exciting, imagination-generating experience that makes students of all ages want to write and share aloud. It’s academic and engaging, and “disguised learning” at its best. Students will receive their own author kit and will be guided through narrative writing steps, such as character & plot development, to create their own imaginative masterpieces. Following the end of the course, each student will receive his or her unique published, professionally bound hardcover book with the author (the student) bio. We will have a publishing party for all students who finish a book.

At Excellerate Learning Studio, students can discover the awesome world of robotics! Our interactive courses make learning design-thinking and engineering concepts a blast. Whether your goal is to build bots for competitions or just have fun coding movements into robots, our classes provide an engaging environment to foster creativity while sharpening STEM skills. Come join us in making mechanical magic come alive with this amazing technology today!

We believe that in the 21st century, coding is a foundational skill, just like reading and writing. That’s why we say: Read, Write, Code. Students can start at any level and no previous experience is necessary. Each student will follow a personalized learning path with the assistance of a coach. They will learn basic concepts such as Sequence, Conditions, and Loops and will advance to more difficult program languages such as Java and Python. The curriculum is similar to playing a game, but students will master those critical concepts through the program and will be motivated to create more real-life projects.

Facing challenges such as bullying, failure, low self-esteem, and poor decision-making, today’s youth stand at a critical juncture. It is with a deep understanding of these pressing issues that John Maxwell and his team have dedicated themselves to fostering a positive transformation. The John Maxwell Team introduces YouthMAX, an innovative youth leadership curriculum crafted with care. This program is meticulously designed to equip young individuals with the necessary tools and insights, empowering them to successfully navigate life’s complexities. Through this initiative, certified speakers from the John Maxwell Team extend a nurturing hand, offering guidance that is both practical and insightful, ensuring that young minds are prepared to face the future with confidence and resilience.

Reading is a vital skill for children of all ages, and this amazing program gives kids the motivation to build their literacy skills. Young learners can practice alphabetics, reading fluency, and comprehension with guidance from an experienced coach – plus pick out a special ‘reading buddy’ stuffed animal pal who will be there every step of the way! And when they complete the course successfully? They’ll get to take home their furry companion as both reward AND reminder that learning should always be celebrated! Parents also receive helpful tips on how they can continue reinforcing these important habits at home too – what’s not to love?!

Navigating the news can be overwhelming, but in this class, middle schoolers can comfortably get to know the world around them better. They’ll choose any content from the New York Times (an article, essay, image, video, or podcast) on any topic and write why it intrigued them. Students learn to write for an audience as their pieces may be entered into the Times’ summer weekly contest and possibly published! Coaches will guide students through the winning rubric of writing a rich response to reading: making a personal connection; showing critical thinking; effectively handling evidence; and using a natural and engaging voice.

A vocabulary masterclass that empowers your child’s reading comprehension like no other! Dynamic activities, captivating lessons, and tailored teaching approach – all designed to propel every unique learner to new intellectual heights.
