Established in 2018Teach to Reach began as a S.T.E.A.M. Camp program serving elementary students with hands-on, curiosity-driven learning experiences. What started as a single program has grown into a dynamic educational network offering year-round enrichment. Today, Teach to Reach operates its own fully equipped S.T.E.A.M. Lab; provides onsite camp sessions; designs innovative S.T.E.A.M. Kits; hosts on- and off-site Mobile Lab events; and partners with multiple schools throughout Los Angeles County.
Through ongoing requests from families and our community, Teach to Reach has expanded its vision to include The Academy, our independent microschool. The Academy is intentionally designed with small class sizes—capped at 15 students per cohort—to ensure personalized instruction, meaningful relationships, and a learning environment where every child can thrive. |
Our MissionAt The Academy by Teach to Reach, our mission is to create an innovative, learner-centered environment where every child is empowered to discover their unique strengths and reach their fullest potential. We are committed to providing personalized instruction, nurturing creativity, and fostering curiosity through hands-on, discovery-based learning experiences.
We believe in honoring the whole child—academically, socially, and emotionally—by cultivating a community where students feel seen, valued, and supported. Through intentional teaching, meaningful relationships, and a strong foundation in S.T.E.A.M., we guide learners to think critically, explore confidently, and grow with purpose. Our mission is to inspire young minds, ignite a lifelong love of learning, and partner with families to ensure that every student thrives in an environment aligned with their needs, values, and dreams. |
The Academy by Teach to Reach: Where learning is personal, creativity is celebrated, and every child’s potential is within reach.
