We
invite your child on an adventure of a life-time - an adventure in living and learning.
More than twelve hours each week are
dedicated to a CORE AREA, which the children choose to study. Core areas are designed to
appeal to the particular interests of each child.
Life-TECH Ventures offers a non-competitive
community in which children learn and grow as individuals. Children play, live and learn
- or more importantly, discover a desire to learn.
Core
Areas Include:
Physical
Science
Natural Science
Robotics
Computers
Sports
Fine Arts
Performing Arts
In
addition to each child's core area program, each day includes a choice
of activities with endless possibilities for discovery.
Discovery activities
might include:
Rockets
Hot Air Balloons
Mission Impossible
Eat-the-World
Mask Making
Pond
Probe
Boomerangs
Paper Marbling
Invent-a-Beast
Batik
Balancing academics
with equally valuable activities, LTV offers recreation periods in crafts, hiking,
swimming, sports or this time may be used simply to chat with friends.
The older
children are given a great deal of freedom based on their ability to take responsibility for that freedom.
Recreational facilities include a pool, two playing fields, a volleyball court, 2 half-court basketball areas, and a sports complex which
houses a full size basketball court or a large recreational space when weather is temperamental.
At Life-TECH
Ventures we understand that learning to make decisions is a part of the growing up process. We want kids to learn to live,
work and play together, not through forced conformity to rules, but rather through understanding individual responsibilities in a social
setting. We want to help kids learn to honestly appreciate the individual differences in people that are fostered in the development
of a harmonious community.
The housing is
extraordinary! It consists of the Center and the Lodge, which comfortably hold 4-6 children per room, and the
Ranger Building.
CORES are instructed on a 1:10 ratio while DISCOVERIES are taught on a
1:8 ratio.
The dormitories are staffed on a 1:12 ratio assuring around the clock supervision.
