About the Program

  • Interactive co-learning space exclusively for girls, ages 9-12.

  • Limited to eight (8) students, Alcove presents a safe, low-stress space for learning with peers. 

  • Facilitated by experienced educator Beth Hankoff (see ABOUT tab for more).

  • What to expect:

    • Group discussions

    • Interactive activities

    • Goal setting and project planning

    • Learning reflections journal

    • Research and create your own projects 

  • ​​CurioQuest App Included: Learn about topics that interest you in a safe, age-restricted app. Students and parents will have free access to my proprietary app called CurioQuest. The app allows students to search the internet for a topic of interest and receive links to kid-friendly content, including photos, articles, and videos. Parents will have access to a parent portal where they can view their child's progress and change content and screen time settings.

  • Students with learning differences are always welcome! Please email me if you have questions about goodness of fit: Beth@EncourageEducation.net

Join the Pilot Program!

  • The pilot will run from March 5 to March 26, 2026, on Thursdays from 10:00 am to 11:00 am (PDT/PST)

​​

  • The special, low price for this four-week pilot is $48! By joining the pilot, you and your child will also have the opportunity to help shape the program.

  • Info Session on Zoom: Friday, Feb. 13th at 6:30 pm (see the options on the sign-up form). At these meetings, I will show examples of the activities and the app, and you and your child can ask questions. You will also be able to schedule a private Zoom meeting with me if you have additional questions or if you are unable to attend the scheduled meeting time.

  • After the pilot is finished, I will gather parent and student feedback on changes and interest in continuing. The class can go through April and May if people want to continue.
