Environmental Comics, 2 Weeks, Ages 7-14

Inspired by a place or environment in nature that needs protection, Students will use markers and colored pencils to design a mythological character that protects this area from whatever may be causing it harm.

Children’s classes are developed with their ages and stages of development in mind, therefore, classes are both age and ability specific. Once enrolled, if your child is unduly challenged or under-challenged causing them not to flourish in their specific age group, the JAC Coordinator and the parent/guardian will review the situation to identify a suitable solution. If your child has special needs (physical, emotional and/or Medic*tion) that must be accommodated while attending a JAC class, you are required to discuss them with the JAC Education Coordinator, Director, or JAC designee prior to paying the class fees.
