Magic Academy: STEAM & SEL Program
“Empowering Kids Through the Art of Magic; Building Character, Confidence, and Communication Skills for Life!”
This program uses magic as a tool for STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) and SEL (Social-Emotional Learning) to help kids build confidence and develop critical life skills.
The Discover Magic Philosophy
Magic is a performing art that empowers children to achieve greatness. This life-changing program unlocks a child’s potential through:
Scientific Method: Students question how tricks work, form hypotheses, and experiment.
Life Skills: Integrated lessons that teach character, creativity, and communication.
Social Connection: Kids make friends through games, activities, and a final student magic show.
