Classes

The year-long core of Class Matters. Once a week, students build character, leadership, academics, entrepreneurship, and STEM skills — taught through projects, not lectures. This is where most students start, and where the community forms.

What it is

One night a week that reshapes the other six.

Classes is a structured, year-long curriculum built on the five CLASS pillars. Students don’t just learn STEM — they practice showing up, leading a project, and setting goals they’re held to.

Sessions blend hands-on builds, reflection circles, academic support, and entrepreneurship challenges. Students stay with the same cohort and mentors all year, so progress is personal and relationships are real.

In a typical year

What students actually do.

Build

Hands-on STEM projects

Robotics, circuits, and design challenges — students learn by making things that work.

Lead

Run a real project

Every student takes the lead on an event, fundraiser, or build at least once during the year.

Grow

Goals & reflection

Weekly goal-setting and reflection circles — we track habits and growth, not just grades.

It's not just a something you do after school once a week. It's a family.
