Celsius and Beyond is a boutique, year-round science enrichment program for children in grades 1-9. Their goal is to teach children the core basic knowledge of science that is relevant to their lives. In the process, kids learn to think objectively, distinguish between proven facts and theory, question common beliefs, and leverage the relationships between imagination and science.  Moreover, their programs help children discover the beauty of science which inspires and motivates them to further their learning of science.
