It’s graduation time! At MALT we are committed to lifelong learning — that means we’ve got something for everyone, whether you’re celebrating a graduation or not. Our youngest teacher was an 11-year old who taught slime-making in 2023, And one of our eldest students was a 95-year old man who took tap dancing for the first time! He also took social media for beginners — it’s never too late to learn something new! But today in honor of our grads, we’re highlighting some classes you can take for or with your kiddo.
First off – stressed about graduation and what comes next for your kid? Check out The Secrets to a Standout College Essay, which you can take online, with or without your student alongside you. Or tired of the grind? Check out a lower stakes treasure hunt with Geocaching. If you’ve got a middle schooler destined for the stage, check out Improv Games for Kids!, a one-time short-form improv afternoon workshop for 5th-9th graders. Looking for a Father’s Day activity? Kids of all ages are invited to Father’s Day Cupcake Decorating for Kids.
For new parents (or for anyone with a child in your life!), consider taking Infant & Child CPR so you can be prepared if the unexpected occurs. Click here to view all upcoming courses and find something for you, or click here to buy a gift certificate so the graduate in your life can continue their learning long after graduation (they never expire!).
Sincerely,
Janet, Marisia, and Sammy
