About Spark NYC
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.

After School Program
Our After School program began in 2015 and has continued ever since. Through our team of Teaching Artists, it is our intention to spread Spark to children in all types of schools. We are proud to have built relationships with the following schools in the NYC:
Choose from a package of one to three hour sessions where they can create art specific focus or across a variety of mediums. We will create a custom program to support your child by matching them with a Teaching Artist.
Spark Pods allow for a customized instruction within a semi-private experience. This is especially great for homeschooling families. A Teaching Artist will come to your home to teach your group bringing a wide range of techniques, mediums and lessons. There is also the option to arrange the class at our Upper West Side studio. You can choose to purchase a monthly or semester package based on commitment and need.
Minimum 4 students
All supplies included
Since 2016, Spark Portfolio Prep has helped children and families prepare for high school portfolio creation. We are versed in the process both for public and private school submissions.
This experience will provide your middle schooler with the ideal environment to create their best work. We will bring our expertise as artists and teachers with the intention to help them land their program/school of choice.
We start with a Portfolio Review and then students have the option to join our Portfolio Prep classes to build their body of work.
Spark will host and create unique themed parties that are a blast for your child and their all friends in our studio. Plus, choose a variety of add-ons to make your party even memorable!
Since 2015, we have created the most incredible holiday camp experiences that blend Art, Yoga, Meditation, Nature, Field Trips and more. When school is out, we’ve got you covered with creative and inspired days for your kids.
Please note minimum of 4 students is needed to facilitate that day. You will be notified 3 days before if camp is not a go.
Cancellation policy: Once purchased, $50 per spot is non-refundable if you should cancel prior to start.
In 2015, we began with small intimate day camp experiences in our backyard that combined art, yoga and meditation! Now a decade later, we continue that intention to create the best summer day camp experience for children to develop using our four core pillars. It is a 10 person camp of mixed ages because we value smaller and more intimate groups for greater teacher /student interaction. 10 weeks to choose from for Summer 2025!
