Aloha Ukulele takes students on a musical journey through the beautiful islands of Hawaii. The keiki, meaning “little ones,” will learn how to play songs on their ukulele while also learning the art, language and traditions of Hawaii. In addition to musical activities, students will have the opportunity to create flower lei, bead art, and other creative projects.

Students discover an excitement for engineering as they design, prototype, and test solutions to real-world challenges with LEGO bricks — building grittiness and problem-solving skills along the way. Each semester features brand-new, progressively challenging levels of a distinct engineering problem. We share class learnings and photos of each student’s creations with families after each class.

Take your child's love for Lego® and brick building to the next level! Students will learn the nuances of architectural design, science, and engineering through exciting, real-world applications. They’ll build moving Lego models that illustrate fundamental principles of physics, engineering, and robotics. Unlike traditional brick-building programs, we also integrate storytelling, creating a narrative to accompany their models. This approach encourages critical thinking, problem-solving, and literacy skills as students craft their own Lego® universe. Whether your child is a beginner or a seasoned Lego enthusiast, they will find the curriculum challenging and rewarding.

The beginner level class is for those completely new to the game of chess, and those who may have been introduced at home or elsewhere, but don't have a solid grasp of the fundamentals. The post-beginner/intermediate level class is for those with a solid grasp of chess fundamentals.

Topics to be covered include: chessboard terminology and square identification; how the various pieces move and capture, plus their relative values; pawn promotion; the very crucial concepts of check, checkmate, and stalemate; the special move of castling; opening goals and principles; basic endgame checkmates using major pieces; and last, but not least, good chess etiquette.

The advanced students are expected to already know: chessboard terminology and square identification; how the various pieces move and capture, plus their relative values; pawn promotion; the very crucial concepts of check, checkmate, and stalemate; the special move of castling; opening goals and principles; basic endgame checkmates using major pieces; and last, but not least, good chess etiquette.

AEF/ACC afterschool chess classes are divided (roughly in half) timewise between instruction and supervised play. Instruction will focus on learning tactics and strategy through the explanation of games and positions from historical players and events, and/or current top-level competitions. The instructor will organize and run an unofficial tournament during the last 4-5 weeks of this level course, with labeled medals as awards for all participants upon completion.

All enrolled students earn and accumulate points towards ACC's Royalty Loyalty Program (RLP) rewards by participating in the instruction half of class and playing with good chess etiquette afterwards. RLP rewards consist of chess-related items, including chess puzzle books and equipment.

After School Hoops® is a weekday afternoon basketball program for aspiring young players. The one hour instructional sessions combine fundamental skills instruction with organized team competition with the goal of providing an enjoyable and educational after school athletic event. Developing players benefit by improving their individual skills such as passing, dribbling, shooting, rebounding, and defending while, at the same time, learning how to work within the framework of a team. Boys and girls of all skill levels are encouraged to join. One of the many merits of After School Hoops® is that it provides school children with an organized after school event at which they can learn, socialize, and most of all, have fun. Parents and teachers often express concern that idle and unsupervised after school hours provide too many negative temptations for their children. Using athletics as the vehicle, After School Hoops® provides children with an opportunity to improve their overall physical fitness, develop sportsmanship and athletic integrity, and gain an understanding of the game of basketball.

Young learners will explore interesting STEM topics with creative art projects. Each week follows a unique theme, including animal habitats, the solar system, symmetry, and shapes. Students will not only learn about the topics in-depth, but also create amazing artwork, such as paper plate planets, symmetry mirrors, and time period sketches. They'll have so much fun creating that they won't even realize how much they've learned!

It’s a zoo in here! This is a unit sure to delight kids who love creatures and building with LEGO® bricks. Bricks 4 Kidz will teach you how to build models of snakes, insects, mammals and more. Each week we’ll discuss fascinating facts about the animals we build, from the chameleon that changes colors to the seal model that waddles across the table. Students will love these motorized moving models that celebrate the wonders of the animal kingdom.

Join Brick Tech as we explore the future of renewable energies using the new Spike Prime Robotics materials from LEGO®. Students will build and program a solar tracking array, recycling plant, hydroelectric dam and a biomass production plant! Students will be provided with everything they need from tablets for programming, Spike Prime Robotics materials (motors, sensors, brain brick), and more LEGO® bricks and pieces than they could ever build!
