ENRICHMENT PROGRAMMES | EDUCATION EXPLORED

You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” Maya Angelou

There’s no doubt about it - we’re living through challenging times. But rather than resting on one’s laurels and bemoaning the loss of usual routines, now is the time to seek out and seize new opportunities.  

Our online enrichment courses have been carefully designed by a team of expert tutors. They know how to help children think both creatively and independently, developing their natural curiosity whilst instilling a passion for learning. The breadth of a child’s skills and experiences is the key to their future success.

Your children will be engaged, educated and inspired from the comfort of the sofa - giving you some time to relax during the holidays! 

Each course is designed to work one-to-one with a student. Courses can be booked and completed over the duration of the summer or concluded within a week.
