    • Drop-off: Begins at 8:30 AM

  • Yes. To respect our Coaches' time and school facility schedules, a late pick-up fee of $1 per minute will be charged for any student picked up after 4:00 PM.

  • Your $150 weekly tuition is all-inclusive of:

    • All materials for the Leadership, Chess, and Arts & Crafts.

    • Light snacks provided daily.

    • Note: The one-time $25 registration fee covers your scholar's Official Academy T-shirt.

  • A: Thursday is our signature high-energy wrap-up day! We recognize scholar growth, hold our weekly "Move Market" where kids spend their earned Move Bucks, and enjoy a community celebration. We ask all scholars to wear their Official Academy Shirt on this day.

  • We provide light snacks throughout the day. However, parents are responsible for providing breakfast and a full lunch daily. * No-Heat Policy: We are unable to microwave or heat student lunches. Please pack "cold" lunches or use thermal containers (Thermos) to keep food warm.

    • Please ensure all lunches are nut-free 

  • Item Move Bucks are our internal Academy currency. Scholars "earn" “Move Bucks” by demonstrating leadership, staying organized, and participating in challenges. On Thursdays, they can spend their earnings at our "Move Market" for rewards and privileges, teaching them real-world financial literacy.

  • No problem! While our curriculum is a 4-week experience, each week is designed as a standalone "Sprint." Your child will still fully experience the pillars, earn Move Bucks, and participate in Celebration Day activities.

  • To ensure maximum engagement in our summer academy, Make The Move is a "heads-up" program. All electronic devices must remain turned off and stored in backpacks during program hours.
