Keystone Creatives

Join us as we explore Keystone Creatives: Focusing on the lasting impact of PA artists, PA culture, and PA creative thinkers. Students should expect thoughtful discussions and hands-on exploration of a variety of art and creative media. These may include, but are not limited to, painting, folk art, crafts, literature, and food exploration throughout the semester. Supplemental reading and projects can be provided.
Best for kids ages 12 +
Lunch and Free Time
12:00 pm - 1:00 pm - Students bring their own lunches and have free time. We try to go outside whenever possible during at least a portion of this hour.
We love to celebrate seasons, holidays, and even birthdays! Students may bring holiday or birthday treats, but due to food allergies and preferences, it is best to inquire with us before doing so.
Side Quests
1:00 pm - 2:00 pm - Everyone comes together after lunch and free time. This is a time to work on your creative and resourceful thinking with Thrive friends! What should you expect? Game days, individual challenges, diving deeper into PA topics, team challenges, decoding, creative days, and practical life lessons! Every week may be different!
Students may also sign up for a skill share session. This may help
fulfill public speaking credits needed for high school.

Your investment allows you to drop off your child in a secure, creative, and positive environment that is working towards building a community of like-minded families and individuals. Thrive Space is secular in nature and works to create critical thinkers.
Our focus is on enrichment, social, and practical life options. We hope to make these things accessible to all kids. Everyone can have a creative side. This is a space to explore ideas and concepts and approach the great beauty and wealth of knowledge that is available through both art and creative thinking.
We are working on building a community of families and a place where the enrolled students have time to form their own bonds or strengthen existing ones. We know price is often a factor for families and each one has its own budget, so we are happy to offer two payment plan options.
