Happy Valley Art School

Happy Valley Art School is a premier local art academy dedicated to nurturing creativity and artistic excellence in students ages 5–18. With a comprehensive and professionally designed curriculum, the school supports young artists at every stage—from imaginative beginners to advanced high school students preparing competitive college portfolios.

For younger students, creative art classes focus on exploration, imagination, and hands-on discovery. Children experiment with watercolor, acrylic, pastel, clay, and mixed media while learning foundational concepts such as color theory, composition, and visual storytelling. These classes build confidence, fine motor skills, and a lifelong love for art in a supportive and encouraging environment.

As students grow, the program transitions into structured fundamental drawing and fine art training. Students develop strong observational skills, master perspective, understand light and shadow, and learn proportion and composition. Through pencil, charcoal, ink, and painting techniques, they build a solid technical foundation that strengthens both artistic ability and critical thinking skills.

For dedicated middle and high school students, Happy Valley Art School offers advanced portfolio development with individualized mentorship. Students explore concept development, theme-based projects, figure drawing, and refined technical practices while building cohesive, college-ready portfolios. The program is ideal for students applying to art, design, architecture, and other competitive university programs where strong visual presentation is essential.

What sets Happy Valley Art School apart is its commitment to small class sizes and personalized instruction. Experienced instructors provide professional guidance while encouraging each student’s unique voice. The school emphasizes both technical rigor and creative growth, ensuring measurable progress and artistic maturity.

Beyond the classroom, students participate in exhibitions, co

Dublin Education Center Opens Enrollment for Summer 2026 STEM, Robotics, and Academic Camps for Grades 1–12

GrowWise School brings small-group coding, AI, robotics, and math camps to Dublin Boulevard this June through August

DUBLIN, CA — GrowWise School, a K–12 enrichment center at 4564 Dublin Blvd in Dublin, has opened enrollment for its 2026 summer camp programs. Weekly sessions run from June through August, with a maximum of 8 students per class.

The lineup spans seven programs across three tracks:

Academic Camps
• Math Olympiad (AMC8/MOEMS) — competitive math training for students preparing for AMC8 and MOEMS competitions
• Advanced Math (Algebra II + Precalculus) — accelerated coursework for students who want to get ahead before school starts

AI & Game Development Camps
• AI Entrepreneur Studio — students use AI automation tools to build and pitch a real product by end of week, led by a founder
• Scratch — introductory visual programming for younger students new to coding
• Roblox — students learn Lua scripting and publish a playable game by Friday
• Robotics Camp — a full-day engineering intensive where students design, build, and race a robot by end of week

Creative Writing
• Young Authors Camp — a full-day writing studio where students write and publish their own book by Friday

"Every student leaves with something real — a published game, a working robot, a completed book," said Anshika Verma, founder of GrowWise. "That's what makes this different from a typical summer program."

GrowWise serves families across Dublin, Pleasanton, San Ramon, Livermore, and the broader Tri-Valley area. Programs are open to grades 1–12 depending on the track.

Full program details and weekly enrollment are available at growwiseschool.org/camps/summer.

Grainbakers Baking School

Grainbakers offers one-of-a-kind whole-grain breadmaking classes and soft pretzel-making workshops. We are honored to be in a guest residency at Pans on Fire, the beloved Pleasanton cooking school. We are also well known for wholesome staff team builders hosted right at your office.
Spent grain and brewer's barley are healthy whole grains recycled from the brewing process. Our 90-minute workshops are hosted at some of the country's best breweries, and they often sell out fast.

Classes blend fun, relaxation, and the pride of saying "I made that." Whether you are brand new to breadmaking or a seasoned sourdough pro craving a fresh twist, you are welcome here.

We especially love showing homebrewers how to transform that beautiful spent grain and brewer's barley into something extraordinary. Every workshop pairs you with friendly Teaching Assistants who guide you through mixing, shaping, and prepping your dough.

You leave with oven-ready dough to bake fresh at home, plus recipes and tips to keep the magic going in your own kitchen. The aromas, the laughter, and the brewery atmosphere all add up to a night you will remember.
This is a fun night out that is also an affordable night out. Most cooking classes are very expensive, and many paint-and-sip or craft classes burn through supplies, create a pile of trash, and still come with a hefty price tag.

Grainbakers keeps it simple and satisfying. A warm setting, a hands-on experience, and something genuinely useful and delicious to take home.
Our seasonal flavor lineup keeps regulars coming back, from Pumpkin and Spice in the fall to Persian Rose Cardamom in spring. The soft pretzel workshops are a guest favorite, complete with bonus recipes for pub cheese and dipping mustard.
