We regularly invite professionals and specialists to share their passions with our learners. Some are parents in our community, and others are brought in based on learner interests—like video game designers, archaeologists, language instructors, or dance teachers. We also connect with scientists from around the world through Skype a Scientist. These opportunities help learners explore real-world possibilities and spark new interests.

Our facilitators offer enriching experiences — from math circles and grammar lessons to hands-on science experiments using the scientific method, as well as theatre, and arts and craft sessions. These offerings help build foundational skills in fun, engaging ways.

At Ad Astra, students are encouraged to take the lead. Whether it's a deep dive into WWII, a breakdown of AI, a favorite video game, or a presentation on how to make home-made macaroni and cheese, learners get to teach others what excites them — building confidence, leadership, and communication skills.
