Calling all curious mythology fans! Join us as we travel around the world to uncover the fascinating stories, heroes, monsters, and legends that have captivated people for thousands of years. Each session is packed with hands-on activities, games, creative projects, and interactive challenges that bring mythology to life.
As young detectives, students will solve mysteries, create artifacts, and explore myths from a variety of cultures. Along the way, they'll build background knowledge, expand their vocabulary, strengthen reading comprehension, and develop critical thinking skills — all while having fun and letting their imaginations soar.
Whether your child already loves mythology or is discovering it for the first time, Myth Detectives is an unforgettable adventure into the world's greatest stories!

Tiaras, boas, fancy dresses, bow ties, sparkly shoes, or any favorite fancy accessories are always welcome (but never required)!
To celebrate the last class in the fanciest way possible, we will have a Soirée. So put on your fanciest smile and join me for an afternoon filled with imagination, creativity, and fun!
