Acera School offers "Try it Out" week for afterschool enrichment

Winchester parents looking for afterschool enrichment programs for their kids can “Try it Out!” at Acera before committing to a full 9-12 week session. From November 26-30, children can sample the K-8 STEAM school’s afternoon activities for just $10/day.

Topics include robotics, cooking, photography, game design, live action role play, and science exploration. Bus transportation is available from Lincoln, Lynch, McCall, and Muraco elementary schools. A full list of classes, as well as a registration form, is online at www.aceraschool.org/enrichment-programs.

“Our programs are designed to be hands-on and fun, tapping into a child’s innate creativity and curiosity,” said school director and founder Courtney Dickinson of Winchester. “‘Try it Out!’ week is a great opportunity to expose children to science and technology, and might even uncover a passion they didn’t know they had.”

Acera: The Massachusetts School of Science, Creativity, and Leadership, is a Winchester-based non-profit STEAM school serving high-ability students in grades K-8.

Founded in 2009, Acera engages students in individualized, project-based learning that is designed around their passions and aligned with their own abilities.

In addition to K-8 education and daily after-school enrichment programs, Acera offers February, April, and summer vacation camps. For more information and upcoming events, visit aceraschool.org.
