Big ideas.
Their own way.
Personal, mentor-led STEM programmes for children, with practical projects and independent learning beyond the school day.
Guidance to grow.
Room to discover.
A mentor helps set the direction. Independent projects give learners room to test ideas, build confidence and make the work their own.
Inside the Private experienceThe learning rhythm
Explore a concept. Ask questions. Make a plan.
Try it out. Test an idea. Keep building.
Review the work. Improve it. Take the next step.
Follow their curiosity
From a first moving robot to the logic behind an application. Find an interesting place to begin.

A journey, not a one-off
Most programmes run for four to six months. Some pathways take up to twelve. Each has room to practise, build and grow.
Discover
Find a starting point
Start with the learner’s interests and experience. A clear roadmap gives each new idea a place to go.
Explore the tools. Try a first challenge. Talk through what sparks curiosity.
Practise
Make space to practise
Mentor guidance introduces a concept. Independent activities give the learner time to try, get stuck and try again.
Test a small change. Keep a project notebook. Bring questions to a guided session.
Build
Build something useful
Connect the ideas in a practical project. Feedback helps the learner turn an early attempt into a working result.
Plan a build. Make a prototype. Test it and improve the parts that need work.
Reflect
Explain the thinking
Look back at the choices, experiments and improvements. The outcome is something the learner can demonstrate and explain.
Show the finished work. Describe what changed. Choose what to explore next.
Open a stage to explore how learning develops. The pace is shaped by the programme.
“Look what I made”
is only the beginning.
A working project opens a conversation about the thinking, persistence and discoveries behind it.
Activity and attendance. Mentor feedback. Projects and milestones.
Stay close.
Let them lead.
You don’t need to understand every line of code to support their learning. Private is designed to give parents useful visibility, while leaving room for children to own their work. Planned parent visibility into mentor conversations and a separate reporting route put transparency at the heart of the experience.
