LLuminaries

How it works

A creative learning program built for how children actually grow

Luminaries is a premium creative studio for kids ages 5–10. We blend art, design, STEAM, and hands-on making into a spiral three-journey curriculum that grows with your child.

The Luminaries approach

  • Small pods of up to 12 with a 1:6 leader-to-child ratio.
  • Semester-based sessions with a spiral curriculum across Fall and Spring.
  • Real tools, real materials, real projects — presented at real showcase nights.
  • Two age cohorts: Little Luminaries (5–7) and Rising Luminaries (8–10).

How progression works

Every child begins at Journey One of their cohort. Each cohort has three journeys — building tools and confidence, growing independence, then leading and mentoring — before children graduate into the next cohort's arc.

What children learn

  • Foundations — looking, drawing, color, pattern, and composition.
  • Applied Arts — printing, fiber, clay, natural dye, and mixed media.
  • Creative Problem Solving — design briefs with material constraints.
  • Entrepreneurship — Wunder Mix enterprise and Luminaries Market.
  • Leadership — mentoring, presenting, and pod stewardship.
  • Capstone Exhibition — a public show of every child's semester work.

How to enroll

Attend a Discovery Day to see the studio in person, then reserve your child's spot for the next semester. Mid-semester enrollment is possible when a pod has space.
