Hands-on classes in TV Broadcasting, Creative Writing, and Sports Math Lab, taught by a working Emmy-winning journalist and his team. Once a week, in person, at learning centers and schools across San Diego.
Students: turn in your writing or project here →
Every class ends with something your child made: a news story, a contest entry, a draft pick they can defend.
Students work in crews and rotate jobs, so everyone anchors, reports, shoots, and edits. They shoot something almost every week and produce a real newscast for their school.
Students write every week, play games that sneak the skills in, keep a Writer's Notebook, and enter real writing contests, many of them 100-word stories where every word has to earn its spot.
Students use real stats to calculate, compare, and decide the way general managers do: who to draft, who to trade, and when to take the risk. Then they take the same math beyond sports, into polling, investing, and the numbers behind everyday decisions.
A game-packed TV club for younger students. Kids learn to hold a camera, frame a shot, ask a great question, and speak up with energy, then play with those skills every week in crews of 3–4.
A game-packed first semester of Spanish. Students learn greetings, family, colors, days, weather, and food through songs, games, and skits, then finish the semester with a Spanish newscast starring every student.
Fall 2026 and spring 2027 locations. Days and times can shift each semester, so check with your center or send us a note.

Every student leaves having learned something, made something, and felt supported. Here's how our teachers make that happen.
A short lesson, then hands on cameras, pencils, or stat sheets. Kids make real work every week.
Before class ends, every student has participated, been encouraged, and done something they can feel good about. No invisible kids.
When your child gets in the car, we want to hear: “That was awesome. I want to go back.”
The plan is a guide, not a script. Teachers adapt on the fly, with new challenges for kids who are ahead and a slower pace for kids who need it.
Small groups, active supervision, and photo and video releases respected on every shoot.
Students enter real writing contests, film festivals, and school newscasts, so the work counts.
