Open to grades K-6Afterschool Art Classes
Join us for a whole new school year of BRAND NEW projects! Let's get messy and make time for creativity! While Firefly Art has always taught drawing skills, with a variety of art media, we do more than that! We teach our students to draw as a secondary means of communication, relish in the creative process, and design creative solutions when "mistakes" happen. This year, we've got more paintbrush action, more sticky glue crafts, and more local artist spotlights coming your way!

Open to grades K-6Afterschool Building Classes
Calling all LEGO lovers! Too many children shy away from math and science. We want our kids, and yours, to be exposed to topics like velocity, momentum, and bioluminescence, alongside a familiar friend, the Lego brick! That way, when they go off to Junior High and High School, they will be more comfortable and willing to raise their hand when these topics come up. Familiarity now, will lead to the confidence to engage later. Join us for new projects and vocabulary!

Open to grades 1-5Afterschool Chess Classes
At Chess Academy, we don’t just play chess, we teach chess! Our comprehensive program offers multiple levels and all of our classes are led by an instructor with new lessons each week. A typical class consists of an extensive lecture following game-play, where students practice what they've learned that day. Chess is a wonderful educational opportunity to help build a child’s ability to focus and understand the art of strategy at an early age. Chess Academy is open to all levels, beginner to advanced.
