2025-2026
Academic Year*
The Institute for Creative Problem Solving holds 20 Saturday sessions from 9 to 11:30 am, starting in September and continuing through March.
We follow the public school calendar, so there are no classes on school holiday weekends.
*This calendar is accurate as of July 1 and is subject to changes and updates.Program Legend

Attendance Policy
Each participant is entitled to a maximum of three absences without penalty. If a student misses class more than three times, they will not receive a Certificate of Completion, which means they cannot participate in our grade-appropriate robotics or research programs. We allow the three absences because we understand that things come up — planned or unplanned. There are no excused absences.
