Our History:

Our school was founded in 2001 as a Math and Chess School and has
grown over the years into a full Enrichment Center, where we develop
every child's special interests and talents. Our primary goal is to boost
every child's intellectual ability while improving his/hers academic
performance. Our Math and Chess classes are designed to develop
critical thinking, strategic planning and creative problem solving skills in
our children and our Science, Language, Art and Music classes will bring
them up as well-rounded intelligent individuals. Every child that comes to
us becomes a most valuable part of the Wizards family: family that
promotes friendship, education and desire to learn.

Art Class for 4-6 year olds: We will be teaching art of drawing and painting using
mostly decorative approach (coloring sea shells, stones, finger-painting,
stenciling, etc).  All these exercises help kids understand complexity of
transferring space and volume. In this course kids introduced to decorative
drawing, concepts of symmetry – asymmetry, stylizations, color scale and
proportion.  Lessons will be concentrated on the drawing composition: choice of
a format, filling the space evenly, selecting the center and accentuating it with
various contrast techniques. Kids study various types of lines and geometrical
figures. Children learn to use various art materials and techniques: pastels,
water color, tempera, ink, acrylic paints, oil and chalk.

Art Class for kids 7 and older:  Older children draw still-life, landscapes, learn
proportions of the human body and copy works of great masters.  Curriculum
includes concepts of a line of horizon, light and shade, shading, charts and more.
