It is hard to believe that summer has already come and gone! Our AIM FOR THE STARS summer camps have wrapped up, and a new academic year is officially underway. We are excited to welcome students back to our classrooms and to our newly updated courtyard! 🌿
Located just outside our main event space, our courtyard has recently received an update, making it an even more inviting place to enjoy the outdoors. It is a great spot to study, hold class while the weather is still nice, or grab a quick lunch between classes.
We invite you to stop by and check it out! If you are lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of our furry friend enjoying the courtyard too. 🐾
Come see what’s new—we’d love to have you visit!
