We love our admins almost as much as they love our students. Yesterday’s Annual Admin Meeting and Retreat proved just that! Our staff spent the day planning the upcoming 2024-2025 school year, then had a blast at Game Show Battles in Lombard. They broke into teams and bonded through intense trivia and hilarious challenges. We are so lucky to have such an incredible team. The upcoming school year is just around the corner, and we are ecstatic! #TeamBonding #GameShowBattles #MentaMoments #FunAtWork #TeamBuilding

This Summer at Menta Academy Woodstock, we've been celebrating hiking as an incredible mode of transportation (and, of course, exercise)! Our classes embarked on exciting hiking trips, made delicious homemade trail mixes, and integrated this theme into our classroom curriculum. We love taking our lessons from the classroom to the great outdoors. Is there anything better in the Summer? #SummerSchool #HikingAdventures #OutdoorLearning #MentaAcademyWoodstock #SummerSchoolLessons #FromClassroomToTrail

🎒📚 Back to School Shopping, Already?! 📚🎒 It can't be! While plenty of summer is left, this is just a friendly reminder to soak up a little bit more sun (while using plenty of sunscreen) and know that we are hard at work preparing for another incredible year of learning and growth! We cannot wait to see you in the Fall! #BackToSchool #SchoolSupplies #ReadyForSchool #ShoppingSeason #NewSchoolYear

At Menta Education Group, we understand that small class sizes make a BIG difference! Studies show that low student-to-teacher ratios lead to personalized, high-quality education. Our approach ensures that every student receives the attention they need to succeed. #MentaEducation #SmallClassBigImpact #QualityEducation

With the first whole month of Summer in the books, is the boredom starting to set in yet? This month is National Anti-Boredom Month, and we'd like to help you kick the summer slump. Here are our Top 3 Ways to Keep Your Brain Entertained during the Dog Days of Summer: 1. Cooking Adventures: Get kids involved in the kitchen with simple cooking or baking projects. It's not just about the food; it's about the fun of creating something delicious together. 2. DIY Science Experiments: Turn your home into a mini science lab and conduct simple experiments using household items. Whether it's making homemade slime, creating a volcano eruption, or exploring the science behind baking soda and vinegar reactions, hands-on experiments can be both educational and entertaining. 3. Storytelling Sessions: Host storytelling sessions to encourage kids to unleash their creativity. Provide them with prompts or story starters, or let them create their own imaginative tales. Do you have a go-to activity to keep boredom away? #AntiBoredomMonth #ExploreLearnGrow #SchoolSpirit #AdventureAwaits #BeatBoredom
