Programs
Children enrolled in Vivvi learn through themes inspired by the questions they ask every day.
Inquiry Based Model
Our faculty facilitates each child’s success by observing their interests and organizing projects and curriculum inspired by those interests that are simultaneously aligned to learning standards across multiple metacognitive, academic, and physical skill sets.
