Leadership Apprentices
Our Leadership Apprentices are our 3rd through 5th grade scholars. In this program, scholars have the opportunity to access a wide range of experiences including art education and exploration, personal health and wellness, STEM education and an introduction to our leadership principles.
Unlike our Young Einsteins, our Leadership Apprentices are recommended to Future Urban Leaders based on their stature as a student and individual. Our Leadership Apprentice programs focus on self-awareness, and that our self-awareness is stronger if you know who you are and what you stand for. During this stage in our programming, our goal is to expose our scholars to a wide range of experiences to allow them to figure out where their talents and interests lie.
“We want to teach our scholars it is not what you do, it is the vibe you carry and how you do things.”
Power in Creativity: Leadership Through Art
The power of creativity in children’s developing years is critical in learning how to express and cope with feelings. Creativity also expands a child’s mental growth by providing opportunities to try out new ideas, and new ways of thinking and problem-solving. Learning through creative activities, such as art, helps to acknowledge and celebrate our scholars' uniqueness.
Pneumatics and Hydraulics with
K'Nex
Our Pneumatics and Hydraulics with K'Nex program provides our 3rd - 5th grade students the opportunity to discover STEM by exploring and engineering through the fascinating science of pneumatic (air) and hydraulics (water) using components of K’Nex. We are honored to have Tonet Johnson, a master science teacher at Milwaukee College Prep and is a Lego Robotics coach as the program lead for this class.
