It's about time (continuation, and open to new students) - W1
with Greg Corona
Ages: 13 - 18
Where did everything come from, and how did we get here? In this discussion-based exploration of science and discovery, students will trace the grand story of the universe from the Big Bang to the rise of modern humanity. We’ll explore the fundamental principles that shape existence: relativity, quantum theory, star and planetary formation, geological time, and human evolution. Along the way, we’ll examine how these fields connect; how matter became stars, stars forged the elements, planets formed from cosmic dust, and life emerged and evolved on Earth. Students will also engage with the philosophical and scientific questions that orbit these topics: What does time mean? How do we know what we know? What mysteries still remain at the edge of human understanding? This course invites curiosity and conversation rather than memorization. By the end of the semester, students will understand the science behind the story of everything, and interconnectedness of the cosmos and our place within it.

with Beck Fahey
Ages: 12 - 18

Emphasizing experiential learning, the course encourages self-awareness, resilience, and emotional balance. Through guided meditations, breathing exercises, mindful movement, and reflective journaling, students gain practical tools for relaxation and focus. Activities such as mindful art, nature walks, and peer coaching circles foster connection, creativity, and empathy. By blending scientific understanding with hands-on experience, this course helps students develop lifelong skills to support emotional regulation, reduce stress, and promote holistic wellness.
