We had a blast at the Kenyer Canyon back to school picnic this weekend! Teachers from our dance, theater, fashion, chess, science & engineering, digital art, sports, and rockstar departments brought tons of fun activities for kids to explore! We also had special guests from our staff and rescued exotic animal friends at Eco Station, as well as our very own STAR life-size LaBuBu!! ⭐️🤩 Thank you to all of our awesome teachers, and to all the families who support us!

♟️🧠✨ Chess and clay, the perfect match! At our STAR NOVA Chess Camp, kids have been busy playing tons of chess and crafting their own custom chess pieces using Model Magic clay. Strategy meets creativity—and the results are amazing! 🎨♟️

Want in on the fun this fall? 🎓 STAR Nova Chess classes are back at select schools across L.A.! Visit staring.org to sign up and let your child master the art of the game.
