An ordinary week, in pictures

Real days, real rooms, nothing staged. Superhero training included. Want more? The castle walk-through has a second album.

About these photos: every child you see here is a real EduCastle child, shared with written permission from their families. If a family ever wants a photo taken down, one message to the office is all it takes.

In the classrooms

Letters, easels, capes and one very good birthday.

The open house

The day we threw the gates open and the treats table did not survive.

The castle walls

The building takes the theme seriously: armor on the stairs, torchlight in the corridor, and a resident order of Knowledge Knights.

Photographs are a start, but the noise, the songs and the block-tower negotiations only happen live.
