Academy Classes
The Institute for Educational Advancement and h-bar tutoring have combined their efforts to ensure that more bright, inquisitive young people in the Pasadena and Los Angeles area have the opportunity to expand their horizons and explore new content. IEA / h-bar Academy will provide exciting supplemental courses to promote higher level thinking skills, creativity and community.
We are excited to introduce special scheduling options for homeschoolers throughout the school year! In addition to the ongoing after-school and weekend classes, several classes are offered at 10:00am on weekdays to coincide with homeschooling families' schedules.
Summer Session I: June 17 - July 5, 2013
Summer Session II: July 15 - August 2, 2013
We are also excited to announce a new “Genius Day” series! Genius Day is a day of deep learning that gives students the opportunity to learn and work with an expert in the field as they uncover the contributions of a person we consider a genius. Our first genius will be Charles Darwin, and the day will focus on his life and work. Dr. Daniel Lewis will be leading this day of inquiry and fun Saturday, June 1, from 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM at The Huntington Library in San Marino. Take a look at the Genius Day flier here. For more information, please contact us at 626-403-8900 or Academy@educationaladvancement.org. Click here for the Genius Day registration form.
