About the Program

  • ​Interactive co-learning space for 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​​​​
