Programs
T.H.E. Academy is dedicated to cultivating a passion for learning and STEM through hands-on, real-world challenges and scenarios. We provide seven distinct programs over a 35-week school year, along with a separate summer program. Our innovative approach features a unique product that merges magnetic tiles with Lego bricks, known as magnetic brick tiles. Each program lasts for five weeks, with multiple sessions for each program. Class sizes are capped at 20 students per session. If a session is full, please register for our waiting list.
