ELECTIVES Grades 4-7
At EXPLO, we believe learning mirrors life — full of questions, tensions, and worthwhile digressions in an ever-changing world. Electives at EXPLO are your opportunity to dip your toes into a subject that you’re interested in exploring, acquire a new skill, or try something new just for fun.
Please note: There is nothing more important to us than the safety of our students and staff. Traditionally, EXPLO students take 3 courses and 3 electives per session. While we will aim to do the same this year, we do recognize that some of those activities might not be possible this summer due to COVID-19. As such, EXPLO students this year might take 6 courses during their session, which would allow us to provide a safer experience should it still be needed.
