On your school break? Come see how you would thrive at Hogwarts School! We will take a magical journey into the world of wizards as we design wands, make magic potions, play Quidditch, and participate in activities that will astound all Muggles. Bring a sack lunch and water bottle. Dress to get messy!
Join us on our own version of the Hogwarts Express to the magical land of Chicago, where we will embark on a mystical Harry Potter Experience! The tour of the Harry Potter Experience takes approximately 1 hour, and the time following is available for eating and shopping on your own in Chicago. Bus leaves from Woodlawn Arts Academy at 8am and Dixon Walmart at 8:20am. Witches and wizards will depart at the experience and board again at the same location at 3pm. Bus will arrive back at Dixon Walmart at approximately 5:00pm and Woodlawn Arts Academy at 5:20pm.
Learn ways to control stress rather than letting stress control you! Do you have that student that wants to do it all and wants to do it all perfectly? Between school and activities, do you worry about the pressure they put on themselves? This program will help students share their experiences and gather tools for controlling their stress instead of letting stress control them. Register for individual sessions the last Friday of each month, or all three.

Creativity and friendship unite! This program is for students who are not yet in school and those who are homeschooling. Socialize with friends while doing science, art, drama, culinary, music and dance! Class themes and activities will be centered around the interests of the participants.
Preschool families unite! Join us for dinner with your little ones and then some fun playtime for children while the adults get a moment to themselves! Parents will discuss successes and challenges of being parents of preschoolers and gain helpful resources to deal with challenges.
Little ones ages 1-3 and a family member can join us for all kinds of artistic expression. Children and adults will participate in visual arts, dancing, music and theatre!
