Curio Curio fuels children in their studies and social development by celebrating their innate curiosity about the world.

Offering an after-school achievement program, Curio fuels children in their studies and social development by celebrating their innate curiosity about the world around them. Centered in Fort Washington, Maryland, Curio offers an after-school arts and academic achievement program for children of all ages. Through healthy eating and a focus on arts and tutoring, we build excitement, cooperation, and a growing sense of each student’s own potential. We know that the best students enjoy learning, and the most successful students (as well as adults) believe in their own ability to figure out what they don't already know.
