Students get one-on-one or small-group tutoring from certified tutors after an academic evaluation, with plans covering math, reading, writing, science and study skills. Older kids can prepare for SAT, ACT and other standardized tests.
Kids attend a weekly after-school math class grouped by grade and level, following a rigorous curriculum that emphasizes logical reasoning and problem solving over rote drills. Homework is assigned between sessions, and older students can join competition-math and test-prep tracks.
Summer campers dive into themed STEM weeks such as astronaut training, aviation and coding plus game development, with older groups spending about half the day outdoors in nearby Central Park. Half-day mini-camps are offered for the youngest kids.
High schoolers join free week-long summer intensives in web design, podcasting and exhibition design, working in a supportive group environment inside the museum. The program focuses on building tech skills alongside history-based projects.
Campers ages 5 to 11 dig into hands-on experiments, from slime chemistry to exploring the human body, mixed with skits and team games. Each summer week has a different science theme.
Children tackle hands-on STEM projects such as building rockets, wiring circuits, programming robots and running chemistry experiments, all tied back to real math concepts. Classes are grouped from toddlers and pre-K up through middle school, and the center also runs holiday and summer camps plus math tutoring.
