Extracurricular in French or English
Children improve their French skills through fun multi-disciplinary extracurricular activities.
Hands-on Workshops
Children explore, question and have fun... Actually, they learn without realising it. Under the constant direction of an EXPLORUM leader, each kid carries out his/her own hands-on activity.
Choose EXPLORUM for your fun but educational extracurricular programming without dealing with crowds, busses, traffic or large spaces where keeping children safe is a concern.
EXPLORUM offers Science, DIY Arts and Culinary workshops in the comfort of your own school or daycare during the school year or vacation. Our programs can be personalised to meet your needs.
Our workshops are presented in a way that allow the students to explore, question and have fun! They learn without realising it. Under the watchful eye of an EXPLORUM instructor, they complete their own science experiment, DIY project or snack; they have fun and learn throughout each project.
