our approach
The Hub has a unique approach to learning that is relaxed and family-directed. Both children and parents take an active role in learning and building our community.
We believe children (and all people) learn best through play and engaging in topics that are meaningful to them.
At the Hub, we believe in a relaxed, family-directed approach to learning, where children and parents collaborate to build a thriving community. We embrace the power of pla and self directed exploration, allowing students to delve into meaningful topics that spark their curiosity.
We meet this philosophy through our group learning experiences called “block classes” providing flexible and interest-led learning.
Block classes cater to diverse interests and ages with either an ongoing area of study (eg. Entrepreneurship, Finances, Mechanics) or activities within a certain theme (eg. Art, Science Experiments, Survival Skills).
Parents play an active role in leading and assisting block classes, sharing their expertise and passions. We also invite experienced mentors and instructors to enrich our offerings.
