Once in the classroom, our Educators will discuss several topics such as the syllabus, expectations, and requirements. Our new students will have the opportunity to get to know one another through icebreakers and activities. Some of our favorites are Two Truths and a Lie, questionnaires, and time to create a vision board. No matter the route your educator takes, you’ll have the opportunity to learn more about your program and fellow students.

Our students love opening up their Student Kits, which will be waiting for you inside the classroom.

Our new students will be paired with a current student to open their kit and inventory their items.
