What these are
Our classes, at somebody else’s site
Exploratores partners with other educational providers in Westfield and the surrounding towns. The programme is built from our own classes, so it is a genuine sample of how we teach, the same lesson-then-build structure, at the host’s location and inside their timetable.
- Designed around our regular curriculum, not a watered-down version
- Delivered by our instructors, with our materials
- Wednesday sessions at Spring Academy Westfield are for current Spring Academy students
- Spaces are limited, host sites usually fill them from their own roll
If your child is not at a partner site, the same content runs as a weekly class at Broad Street. See the schedule.
For providers
Run Exploratores at your site
If you run a preschool, an academy, an after-school programme or a community centre in Union County, we can deliver a STEM strand inside your timetable without you buying a single kit.
- We bring instructors, curriculum, materials and take-home projects
- Sessions sized to your rooms and your slot lengths
- Per-student billing or a flat session fee, whichever suits your model
- Insurance certificate and background checks on file
