Summer in the Valley is designed for children ages 5-12, offering a unique blend of hands-on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) and mindfulness practices such as yoga. Grounded in a holistic approach to learning, children explore exciting themes from late June through August in a safe, enriching, and encouraging environment that fosters curiosity, creativity, and growth.

Engaging the Five Senses

“Hands-on” learning at The Mandala School means your child can engage all five senses while exploring the world around them. Research shows active, participant-based learning helps children retain more information and build critical thinking skills. Our program combines sensory engagement with mindfulness and creativity, providing an exciting and meaningful way for children to interact with the environment and develop a strong connection to their learning experiences.

STEAM Education

Our STEAM activities are designed to be scientifically sound, age-appropriate, and challenging. Kids are encouraged to ask questions like "why," "how," and "what" while discovering the answers through observation, experimentation, and interactive problem-solving. These hands-on activities ignite curiosity and teach children the scientific process in a fun and engaging way—because that’s how great minds grow!

Alongside these STEAM experiences, our program incorporates yoga and mindfulness practices to harmonize the body, mind, and energy. These techniques promote stress reduction, build resilience, and improve focus, helping children thrive socially, emotionally, and academically.

At The Mandala School, we are deeply committed to creating an inclusive and diverse learning community while fostering meaningful partnerships. Enroll your child in Summer in the Valley which is offered on our wooded 31-acre campus for a unique, educational, and enjoyable adventure where every child is inspired to grow!
