IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
The Needham Community Education (NCE) Summer Explorations program offers weeklong enrichment classes in July for students entering grades 1-9. Summer Explorations is open to both Needham and Out-Of-District students. NCE offers engaging and educational opportunities in visual arts, robotics, active play, science exploration, cooking, creative writing, technology, and more, sparking curiosity and creativity in every student. Taught by highly qualified Needham Public Schools teachers, staff, and local professionals, our relaxed and fun environment lets students explore new interests, develop new skills, and collaborate with peers!
In addition to the outdoor movement and break times planned by each instructor, students participating in full-day Summer Explorations classes will enjoy a 40-minute active break each day led by highly qualified Needham Public School P.E. and Wellness Instructors. During this time, students will head to the gym or venture outside to get some fresh air and move their bodies. Whether it's a brisk walk around the grounds, high-energy running games and relay races, or exciting team sports and activities, this time is a great way to break up the day, get some energy out, and boost focus for the rest of class!
