How It Works

You pick up your kid from school and take them to the Trackers Basecamp! You have the flexibility to choose the number of days and the enrollment term—either for the full year or seasonal term. Consistency is key, as students must be registered for the same weekday each week. The unique curriculum allows kids to delve into a single subject corresponding to a specific day, creating a focused and immersive learning experience. Grades are separated into:

Grades K-1 Building skill and inspiration for the subject.

Grades 2-5 Developing breadth and depth beyond introduction.
