Creative Chinese class(K-5): Taught by an Edison mom!!

"All the fun happens while we are immersed in Mandarin! Our creative Chinese classes are engaging and educational lessons. We combine Chinese language learning with hands-on activities. Our storybooks are not only entertaining, but also serve as an excellent platform to reinforce vocabulary, sentence structure, overall comprehension, and listening skills. The students actively participate in discussions related to the story.
Each week we read a theme-based storybook, and do worksheets and activities based on them, like singing songs, acting, playing games, doing arts and crafts, cooking, and writing. The activities are not only incredibly fun but also allow the students to apply their language skills in a practical context. Our students develop lifelong interests in Mandarin Chinese, and continue to show enthusiasm and dedication to learning, which is truly valuable. See April’s programs and testimonials at EnjoyChineseLA.com."

Scratch Jr Encanto (1-3):

"Welcome to the magical world of Encanto! In this class, students will learn the fundamentals of coding while creating animations and projects with their favorite characters from Encanto. Every class is a new adventure and an opportunity to put coding fundamentals into action! From finding Bruno to helping Mirabel find her door, kids will have a blast learning about loops, variables, and more while creating their own magical journey!"

Lando Engineering and Design Thinking (1-5):

"Design, prototype, and test solutions to real engineering challenges. Instead of step-by-step instructions, we encourage students to test their own ideas, using building tools like LEGOs, 3D pens, and cardboard. Each class features progressively challenging levels of a distinct engineering problem — like building domes that can withstand asteroids, designing air cannons to launch circus performers, or creating air filters to remove debris."

and many more!!!

All AEF classes are taught by experts in their fields and classes are kept small.
