2. Bricks 4 Kidz
Kids today are growing up in a world where technology and related fields are extremely lucrative. At Bricks 4 Kidz, STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), the number two on our list of New York City’s most unique classes that will blow you away principles are taught to kids ages three to thirteen. Though these areas of education may seem a bit advanced for kids of this age, the school breaks it down into the most basic building blocks– Lego blocks, to be specific– to create a working foundation of knowledge. The founder of the company was a teacher at a New York City public school for seven years, and has designed the school’s curriculum around this experience. The lessons focus on improving how students perform in assessments in algebra, geometry, and life science, while also focusing on experiential learning and deeper understanding. Another great thing about this school, is that they pride themselves on catering to non-English speakers, those who cannot yet read, and children with disabilities.
