Let's Learn

"Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere."-Chinese Proverb

This popular summer program offers Nutley students in grades K-6 a selection of hands-on classes that are fun and educationally challenging. No tests or grades are given. All of our instructors are certified teachers. Classes are offered in two morning sessions during the month of July.

Subjects range from arts and crafts (in classes like The Art of Drawing, Art in Advertising, Cartoon Crafting) to math and science (Math-a-Mania, Dinosaur, CSI: Children’s Science Investigations, Nutty for Nature) to writing, literature, and the performing arts (A Summer with Harry Potter, Writers’ Express, Animals in Literature, Drama Workshop), and more (Benvenuti in Italia, Fitness Fun).

We’ll be preparing simple recipes while making connections to science and math and stirring up healthy appetites. (Please tell us beforehand about any food allergies, as we’ll be sampling our homemade creations.)

Surprising Science
