I have seen firsthand how my son has become passionate about science and learning new programming languages. Big projects with useful outcomes put scientific concepts in his hands and made them fun to learn!”

“Tate’s challenges to expand their interests and knowledge, while still allowing them to be kids. I truly don’t think one could find a better atmosphere to navigate the challenges that the middle school years bring. For our family, arriving on the Tate’s campus always feels a little bit like coming home. “
