ENRICHMENT CLASSES
We currently offer enrichment classes at 20+ schools in DC, NY, CT, and NJ.
We customize each class to the unique environment of each partner school and are always happy to create classes from scratch based on requests. We also offer private enrichment classes on any topic under the sun.
Creative Writing
Our original enrichment offering, Creative Writing is the course that inspired Amore Learning to exist! It is a no-brainer that writing creatively is the perfect intersection of boosting skills while having fun. We realized just how perfect it was when we saw skills soar, parents rave, and kids smile all the while! This course inspires writers of all ages and skill levels to engage with writing in fun and relatable ways. From creating characters and plot lines to responding to thought-provoking and often silly prompts, our Creative Writers create portfolios they will read and cherish for decades to come! This course concludes with a final Publishing Party during which families will be invited to the classroom.
Graphic Novels
Whether or not your child is an avid graphic novel enthusiast, they are sure to become one in this fun, imaginative, and confidence-building course! We will create characters and plots, and use them to write stories and even chapter books. We have found that exploring the world of graphic novels has helped even the most reluctant writers to embrace the writing process. The individualized skills we teach allow writers of all skill levels to come up with an idea, put pen to paper, and feel great about the process and the final product! We will focus on having fun while boosting writing skills in a warm, nurturing, and creative environment. This course will conclude with a final Publishing Party during which families will be invited to the classroom.

Join us as we explore, observe, and create in the magical realm of Nature Club!
Acting
101
Does your child have a flair for the dramatic? Discover the craft that is stage acting!

LEGO Engineering
Who doesn’t love building with LEGOs?!? There is nothing better than the limitless creativity we all feel when left to our own devices with a bin of LEGOs. In this class, we will build (pun intended!) upon this excitement by teaching LEGO enthusiasts about engineering – how to make a plan, execute it, reflect upon it, and make changes for next time. Tapping into our executive functioning skills, we will use our imaginations to build new innovations while learning about the classics (Eiffel Tower, Burj Khalifa, Big Ben, etc). Please note that while this class has a focus on engineering and special weekly “challenges,” we will sprinkle in moments of free-play with LEGOs to satisfy that natural curiosity!
