Our students don't just reach for the stars- they visit them!

Welcome to our awesome Astro-Clubs, where learning meets excitement in the most stellar way possible! 🌟✨ Our extracurricular programs are carefully crafted to ignite inspiration in every student. We've got a whole range of themed lessons that are specifically designed for different age groups, ensuring that your child gets the perfect balance of fun and educational content.
Here's the scoop: each lesson focuses on a specific concept, and then we dive straight into hands-on activities. We believe in learning by doing, so your child will get to experience the magic firsthand. And guess what? The highlight of each session is a visit to our mind-blowing Discovery Dome mobile planetarium. Picture this: a 360° digital show that immerses your child in the wonders of the universe. They'll be able to ask questions, satisfy their curiosity, and gain a solid understanding of their place in space and time. It's a cosmic journey they won't want to miss! 🚀🔭
Ready to enroll? Great news! You can sign up for our Astro-Clubs through the ECA sign-up system at your child's school. We currently have two clubs a week at Kellett School, and let us tell you, they're an absolute blast! But hey, we're always on the lookout to expand our amazing club to other schools in Hong Kong because we truly believe it's something too good to miss out on. So, if you're interested in having our club run in your school, don't hesitate to reach out. We'd love to chat with you!
