How It Works
We pick-up from most schools within 15 minutes of our studio headquarters. You register for an 11-week seasonal term. Create a schedule between 1-5 days of after school courses.
Option 1 - Trackers Transport When we transport, class starts at pick-up. When students arrive onsite and meet their class teacher. See below for a list of schools we pick-up from.
Option 2 - Self Transport For families outside of our pick-up schools, we also provide the option for Self transport for specific classes. Self transported students must arrive at times no later than what is specified for each class (see FAQ). Students grade 5 and up can also choose self-checkout as an option. Self-transport comes with a 15% discount.
Parent pick-up is from 5:15 PM to 6 PM at our SE Portland HQ (4617 SE Milwaukie Avenue) or our Annex only 3 blocks away. For students picked-up closer to 6 PM, optional class activities continue during pick-up time.
