How do you motivate a bored student or inspire a gifted one? How do you give your grandchildren a competitive edge that will benefit them now and in the future? Where can your children develop skills in decision making, problem solving, and deductive reasoning? What opportunities are there for artistic enrichment and athletic challenge? You'll find the answers to these questions and more at Hofstra's Saturday Classes for Young People, a respected, trusted program, now in its 39th year.

Hofstra offers a 10-week program, in both the fall and spring, and a 6-week program in the summer. Saturdays at Hofstra, however, are not a sixth day of school: Children thrive in our small classes with low student-to-teacher ratios. They respond with enthusiasm to the personal nature of an out-of-the classroom learning environment where the focus is on learning, enrichment, and socialization--not "teaching to the test." They also enjoy making friends with other students from throughout Long Island. In fact, many tell their classmates back home, "I go to college!"

As a parent, you'll derive peace of mind knowing your children are in a safe learning environment, one dedicated to excellence and with significant resources. Sibling discounts are available; and you are welcome to connect with other like-minded parents in our Parents Lounge and during parent courses, conveniently scheduled to coincide with our youth programming.
