Description:
What if your child could learn to see their life the way an artist does — with imagination, openness, and courage to experiment?

Designed for ages 11–13, this 8-week creative leadership lab blends art-making, brain science, and social-emotional learning to nurture focus, empathy, and resilience. Students explore how the principles of art—perspective, patience, expression—mirror the skills that shape emotional intelligence and leadership.

Projects include designing meaningful keepsakes, guided reflection, and studying how creative leaders like Picasso and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. turned vision into change. Each student builds toward a personal “masterpiece” of artistic and self-expression.

Parents receive weekly recaps and simple at-home practices to extend learning beyond the classroom.
