Luminary Learning Village provides a real-world learning environment for young people to develop self-direction, self-motivation and self-knowledge and as such never requires children to attend specific classes or produce specific work. We support children’s requests for learning, but do not direct learning activities according to any curriculum or required learning objectives.
10 AM to 4 PM
We offer from 2 days to 5 days of participation
1-day participation and drop-ins only available to current or former members.
Our Program is year-round with 3 breaks: 2 weeks of Winter break in December, 1 week of Spring break in April and 1,5 month of Summer break in July and half of August.
Offerings are the light scaffolding we use for sharing knowledge and interests with each other. They are brought in by young people, facilitators, parents, or others we invite in. Offerings are ways of inviting others to join in exploring a shared passion. Here is a list of offerings we have:
Chess
Lego

Join us every Thursday from 10 AM – 4 PM for a dynamic and supportive space designed just for teens! At Teen Club, young people connect with peers, build friendships, and develop functional life skills through group projects, hands-on activities, and guided learning. Teens will also have opportunities to:
Receive one-on-one support from an experienced facilitator
Explore the Bay Area through field trips
Gain volunteer hours and even discover apprenticeship opportunities
Learn how to learn in ways that spark curiosity and confidence
Our facilitator brings over 10 years of educational experience, with a strong background in agricultural science and a wide range of life experiences that enrich the program.
💲 Tuition: $185/month (additional fees for field trips and select materials may apply).
