Young Scholars Workshop

Saturday, December 13, 2025
9:00 AM to 12:00 PM

Nichols School invites non-Nichols students in grades 4–6 to join us for the next Young Scholars Workshop, a three-hour immersive experience designed to ignite imagination, creativity, and curiosity.

During the morning, students will rotate through three interactive 45-minute workshops, led by Nichols faculty and inspired by the dynamic learning environment that defines our Middle School.

Up to 12 unique sessions may be offered, allowing participants to explore a range of topics across literature, writing, science, art, mindfulness, and more.

Example sessions may include:

• A Taste of Color
  Experience color through all five senses and write poetry inspired by what you discover.
• Engineer Your Own Pinball Machine
  Build a working pinball machine using paper plates, marbles, and everyday supplies.
• Mission IMPROVable
  Use your imagination to perform short scenes in teams, using surprise props and costume pieces as your inspiration.
• Shakespeare!
  Take the stage and find your voice through "Will Power" with sound effects, wordplay, dramatization, and more.
• Beatles and History
  Discover how The Beatles influenced music, culture, and global history.
• The Art of Observation
  Practice journaling and mindfulness to sharpen your skills as a writer and thinker.
• The Burning of Buffalo
  Learn how Buffalo became a focal point in the War of 1812 and map its pivotal moments.

While students explore, parents and guardians are welcome to return at 11:15 AM to speak with our Admissions Team or join us for student pick-up at noon.

Space is limited. Reserve Your Spot Today.
