In the little but mighty state of Connecticut, nestled between the bustling cities of New York and Boston, rests a unique tribe of kids known as the Conninjas. Don’t let the name deceive you, they are not mythical creatures from a forgotten time, but rather, the ninjas of today, equipped not with swords and shuriken, but with determination, agility, strength, and an uncanny ability to climb anything. The Conninjas are a playful bunch, but when it's time to train, they transform into a force to be reckoned with. Their playground? The verdant landscapes of Connecticut, from the rocky shores of Long Island Sound to the leafy peaks of the Appalachian Trail. The forests become their dojo, the playgrounds their obstacle courses. These youngsters are as diverse as the state they inhabit. Some are as swift as the Farmington River, flowing through their courses with smoothness and grace. Others are as sturdy as the Charter Oak, standing strong and determined, no matter the challenge. Some are as quick-witted as Mark Twain, calculating their way through the most complex routes. Among them, there’s a particularly quirky character named Chuck-a-Luck. With his mismatched socks and spaghetti-strand hair, he might seem like a goofball, but when it comes to ninja skills, Chuck is no joke! He can scale a tree faster than a squirrel and swing from ropes with the ease of a monkey. His exploits, often accompanied by his infectious laughter and snack breaks (mostly involving cookies), never fail to amuse the Conninjas. Welcome to Connecticut, the land of the Conninjas, where every kid is a ninja in their unique way, and a tree is not just a tree, but a towering challenge to be conquered.

What began in a humble New York City apartment with just a single student, Spark, has since blossomed into an enriching program impacting thousands of children. Our unique educational approach combines the elements of art, yoga, meditation, and nature to create a holistic learning environment. This distinctive blend is what sets Spark apart, allowing us to reach and inspire a multitude of children in truly meaningful ways. With an array of offerings to accommodate various schedules and needs, Spark has something for everyone. Our services extend beyond the standard after school and weekend classes to include holiday and summer camps, birthday parties, portfolio preparation, private classes, and custom pods. We also welcome homeschool groups and are thrilled to announce the recent addition of a forest school program to our repertoire. You can find Spark on-site in various schools and at our main studio located in the Upper West Side. But we're not stopping there - we're also planning to expand to the Upper East Side and Brooklyn. For our families in Pennsylvania, we run the program from our family studio there. And if you're not in close proximity to any of our locations, don't worry. We offer in-home instruction and virtual options to ensure that Spark can reach you, no matter where you are. We invite you to explore all the ways you can experience Spark and look forward to helping bring our program to you.
