When You Join Us!
My Magical Land
Students explore fairytales for inspiration, learn how to create depth using background, midground, and foreground, and use simple shapes to add detail. They’ll sketch a layered scene and add colour to bring their own unique magical world to life to tell their own story.
For Kids & Teenagers
Superheroes
In this creative session, kids dive into the world of superheroes and villains—exploring why we need heroes and how stories shape our lives. They’ll learn how to draw and paint expressive faces using proportion and detail, then create a powerful self-portrait as either a superhero or a villain, showing off their own unique strengths and style.
For Kids & Teenagers
Impossible Artifacts
In this magical session, kids explore legendary objects that defy reality—like invisibility amulets, flying carpets, or everlasting gobstoppers. Through clay sculpting, they’ll learn about 3D form, texture, and dimension, then design and create their own impossible artifact—an object that tells a story and sparks the imagination.
For Kids & Teenagers
Fantastic Beasts
Step into a world of magic and creativity as kids invent their own mythical creature or magical animal ally—like dragons, unicorns, or something entirely new! Through drawing and painting, they’ll explore shape, texture, and storytelling, bringing their fantasy companion to life with vibrant color and bold imagination.
For Kids & Teenagers
Time Travel
Get ready for a creative time-travel adventure! Kids will design their own disguise to chase a mischievous villain through history—or even into the future—blending into ancient civilizations, medieval kingdoms, or futuristic worlds. Through costume design and character drawing, they’ll explore styles across time, storytelling, and imaginative world-building as they craft their time-traveling alter ego.

Age Groups
Our curriculum is thoughtfully tailored to each developmental stage. Each age group receives creative support that matches their level—from playful beginnings to skill-building projects and self-directed, expressive work. Alongside technique and bilingual communication in Swiss German and English, we also nurture essential soft skills such as teamwork, confidence, and creative problem-solving.
Scribbles of the Wild (4-6)
This is our Explorers group, where children dive into playful, hands-on art projects that spark curiosity and creativity. As they sketch, paint, sculpt and experiment with colour and story, they build fine motor skills, grow confident in their ideas, and strengthen soft skills like focus, resilience, and expressive communication—in both Swiss-German and English. Every project is a chance to explore, express, and feel proud of what they’ve made.
Dream Safari (7-9)
In our Adventurers group, children create expressive art projects that nurture their creativity and build self-confidence. Through drawing, painting, modeling, and playful exploration of stories and techniques, they begin to develop their own artistic voice—learning to make decisions, take creative risks, and reflect on their work. Each project sparks imagination and strengthens key social skills such as collaboration, resilience, and bilingual communication in Swiss German and English.
Brave Expressions (10-12)
As Creators our students focus on shaping their art identity, deepen their artistic skills and explore new forms of expression. They work on imaginative, multi-step projects, develop their own ideas, and begin to recognize and refine their creative signature—in both English and Swiss German. Along the way, they strengthen essential soft skills such as perseverance, collaboration, and solution-oriented thinking, gaining confidence in their artistic voice.
Art to the Future (13+)
Young Leaders take on bold, expressive projects that challenge their technique and expand their perspective. Whether sketching, drawing, painting or sculpting from life or exploring their own visual style, they build confidence in their ideas and learn to communicate with clarity—in both English and Swiss-German. Along the way, they develop essential soft skills like focus, critical thinking, and self-direction, gaining the tools to navigate creative challenges and express who they are with purpose and pride.
