Saturdays this winter. Ages ten to thirteen. Nothing to pay, nothing to bring.
The winter builds are done. Write to hello@soundlineschool.com and we'll tell you the next one first.
Save a spot here.
Your child's first name and grade, your name and number, and which Saturday. We confirm by email with the address.
What a build is.
Each Saturday is one piece of a day at Soundline, run the way it will be run there. Groups of ten to twelve. Adults who learn your name in the first ten minutes. No worksheet.
The Lab
A real problem with real materials. You find out what you don't know yet by hitting it, and then you fix that.
The Quest
One problem, a team, and a way out that nobody hands you. Thinking you can see.
The Showcase
The last fifteen minutes, every time. Parents come in. You stand up and say what you made, what went wrong, and what you'd do next. That is a Friday at Soundline.
Every child leaves with the thing they built and one page about it: what I made, what I'd do next, and a line from Adam about what he saw. Keep the pages. By January they're a folder.
Come to three and you're Crew.
Soundline opens in September with ten to twelve students in each of three grades, and the first of them are being chosen now. Children who come to three builds are Founding Crew: their first name goes on the shoreline on this site, they help pick what the first Quest will be, and they're the ones who show the new kids around in September. Being first at something that doesn't exist yet is the best part of this whole thing, and we'd rather share it than keep it.
For parents.
You'll see the method before you hear about it. Drop off at the start, come back for the last fifteen minutes, and watch your own child explain something they made to a room. Afterwards, if you want it, fifteen minutes with Nicole about your child specifically: ask for a call.
The December 12 build ends with the information session we'd otherwise have held on a weeknight: the day hour by hour, what it costs, the new federal scholarship that starts in January, and where the school will be, or exactly what happens if we can't say yet. Every price is already written down. The $500 that reserves a founding seat sits with an independent escrow agent, not with us, and comes back in full until the day a lease is signed.
Homeschooling? The three-morning Winter Quest runs on the Collaborative's hours, which is the point.
