Classes

Making friends takes 3 ingredients: A common interest, shared experiences and enough time together to grow a connection. I lead classes to create friendships for my family and others in locations across Indianapolis. All of my classes include hands-on, teams-based learning through projects, public speaking opportunities, learning with board games and social time for friendships to bloom. All classes are drop-off with no parent commitment, however parents are always welcome to observe.

All 2024-2025 Classes - Pre-register here to save your spot!

Locations: Lebanon, Westfield Washington Public Library/Westfield, Rooted + Free/Noblesville

I am taking pre-registration for both fall and spring classes, this helps me know how much interest is in a certain area, I need a minimum of 10 students to make a class work so bring a friend! 

  • All classes are drop-off and the price reflects $10/class hour

  • Some classes are only in the fall, others run into the spring to accommodate the content

  • All classes include teamwork, public speaking, hands on/project based learning

  • Ancient History will include 2 lessons of assigned reading & writing at home between classes to ensure we make the most of the time I have together as a group, it also requires a book purchase and printing the project packet. I am able to print the packet for an additional fee.
