CHECstra Day for Tweens offers 9-12 year olds a mixture of academic development, interest-led project work, and life skill building. The program is intended for tweens who are interested in digging deeper into core academics with other tweens. We emphasize interactive problem-solving, research and presentation skill building, and a cooperative and respectful learning environment. This program has been a huge hit amongst our teens and tweens!

MindQuest

This winter session, our academic study will focus on Practical Mathematics. Students will build a strong foundation in problem solving by working through real world challenges, discovering how math is essential to life, and deepening the understanding and application of foundational mathematics concepts, such as: Multiplicative Structures, Fractions and Decimals, Geometry and Measurement, and Algebraic Thinking.

Looking ahead for those planning for future terms, a Health Science Unit is planned for in-depth study for those who enroll in spring term CHECstra Tween Day.
