We provide a curriculum, an academic outline (in 3-week blocks), sample lesson plans, suggested in-class activities and various printable materials, though we invite qualified teachers to tailor the class to their strengths and preferences. The class size for all our classes is capped at 18 students, with two assistant teachers for each class.
