Through a fun series of theater games, acting exercises and scripted scene work, this introductory acting class teaches the fundamentals of the actor’s craft. Students explore the “three tools of the actor” – voice, body and imagination – as they learn how to create characters, interpret scripts and perform for an audience. The class teaches true theater skills such as stagecraft, emotionally truthful acting, and professional theater etiquette, while encouraging creativity and inspiring the imagination. The class culminates with a workshop presentation of scenes and monologues for an invited audience.
Take it once or take it again and again! Students are encouraged to repeat the program several times. While the overall objectives remain the same, there are always new games, new activities and new performance scenes to keep the program varied and interesting. As students progress through successive iterations of the program, they continue to work on more sophisticated material in order to ensure that their skills continue to grow and that they are being appropriately challenged.

With just the right balance of structure and creative freedom, students will explore the art of filmmaking by selecting their story, theme, and genre from a curated set of fun ideas, transforming them into unique, well-crafted plots.
Our well-crafted curriculum guides students through every step of the process. They’ll start with pre-production, participating in a “Writer’s Room” to brainstorm and develop original ideas for their very own short film. From there, they’ll dive into scriptwriting, crafting compelling stories, and collaborating to create shot lists and detailed storyboards. As they move into the production phase, students will bring their ideas to life—building props, preparing scenes, and shooting their short films. Finally, in the post-production phase, they’ll review a rough draft of their video, provide feedback, and see their hard work come together. This course allows students to explore every step of the filmmaking process while fostering teamwork, creativity, and technical skills.
CineCraft will enable your student to:
- Create Original Stories by stepping into the roles of scriptwriters, bringing their ideas to life on screen.
- Ignite Imagination as they explore the world of filmmaking and storytelling, discovering the magic of visual storytelling.
- Role Playing as students become the actors, directors, writers, and cinematographers of their own films.

At Soccer Stars, we use the soccer ball as the vehicle to help children improve their soccer skills, build self-confidence in the game of soccer and life, and learn what it means to be a good teammate both on and off the field.
Our curriculum was developed by early childhood educators and soccer professionals. Our structured classes teach soccer FUNdamentals through imagination and play--each class has a theme (i.e. the beach, outer space, race track) which makes learning fun! Our coaches are patient and a ton of fun; they not only love working with children, but also enjoy developing these skills in a nurturing and non-competitive environment!
In our 3rd-5th grade program, players will improve their creative capacity through technical skill development and small-sided games. This allows for freedom of expression with the ball—a vital concept is emphasized with the introduction of 1v1 dribbling and defending games. The addition of opponents allows the player to make decisions under pressure. High repetition ball control activities help each player become more proficient with the ball. *Each child will receive a Super Soccer Stars Medal at the end of the season.
Communication: Each week, you’ll receive an email outlining what your child is learning in class, including the specific skills they’re focusing on. We encourage you to use this as a conversation starter to ask your child about their day. Additionally, we use a platform called Homeroom, where coaches share photos and videos from class throughout the season.
Returning players: At Soccer Stars, one of core philosophies (aside from having fun), is repetition, repetition, repetition. The way to get better at soccer is through consistent practice! Our coaches do a great job tailoring the soccer curriculum to your child and their class to ensure everyone is learning at their own speed and getting the most out of the class

Fun activities and hands-on lessons teach the mechanics of opinion writing, so students learn how to express their ideas in simple yet convincing ways. Students explore how authors use emotions, logic, and evidence to persuade readers to accept their argument. Instructors practice confidence techniques with examples to introduce students to understanding their thoughts through drawing, writing, and group discussions. Key concepts include introduction to persuasion, opinions vs. facts, and understanding audience reactions.
Students have the opportunity to express their thoughts in both written and illustrated formats, to help them understand how to persuade their readers effectively. The course concludes with a celebration to showcase their newly developed skills by sharing their persuasive ideas with their classmates and getting positive feedback.
To keep the students engaged and energized, there will be a break in every class where students will participate in fun activities like stretching and music.
