How long have we been offering programs? GreenApple
Campus is a not-for-profit organization. We began offering programs
in 2003. Each year our content team designs enhanced programs and
program themes. We continue to add programs and locations each year,
thanks to the positive results we receive from participants and parents.

What is our philosophy?
GAC
seeks to challenge program participants to stretch their capabilities
and creativity in a fun and interactive learning environment. We look
for staff who are motivated, enthusiastic, and share our vision for a
challenging, fun enrichment program. |
| |
|
Who
are the instructors?
GAC instructors are
invention and creativity
maniacs that love to build and can convey that enthusiasm to our
program participants. Some are current
school teachers or involved in university programs, pursuing
secondary degrees in education or educational technology. Others
have professional backgrounds using computer applications. All
staff go
through training, a background screening process as well as reference checks.

Campus is that each program will create a unique set of challenges, projects
and successes. |
