New! From Kidzart! Let's bundle up and dive into the beauty of winter with this exciting art class! We'll explore different artistic techniques to create a magical winter wonderland filled with adorable animals and cozy scenes. Draw a penguin parade on ice with a playful scene in markers and colored pencils, transform ordinary materials into an enchanting winter lantern that will illuminate your home, and we’ll use textures to create a charming cabin nestled amidst a snowy landscape.

TGA (Teach. Grow. Achieve.) is excited to introduce youth pickleball classes! This fast-paced, ultra-fun sport—similar to tennis but even more accessible—is perfect for all ages. With an 8:1 student-to-coach ratio, our experienced instructors provide individualized attention, ensuring each child progresses at their own pace in a supportive environment. Using real pickleball equipment (all provided, so no extra gear is needed), students will develop fundamental skills through engaging drills, interactive games, and real match play. Beyond the game, they’ll also explore academic concepts and practice essential life skills like sportsmanship, integrity, and perseverance. TGA makes learning pickleball easy, fun, and rewarding!

Our certified instructors guide students through a comprehensive Drivers Education course approved by the State of Minnesota. This program meets all requirements for drivers under the age of 18 and includes 30 hours of classroom instruction and 6 hours of behind-the-wheel training. The course features lectures, class discussions, guest speakers, videos, written work from textbooks, and written tests. Behind-the-wheel instruction provides students with hands-on experience driving on public streets and highways. **Please note: the in-person class at Simley starting Sept 9 has been cancelled due to low enrollment. The online course will be held as scheduled. Please contact Barb Pierce at pierceb@isd199.org if you have any questions.
