Dublin Education Center Opens Enrollment for Summer 2026 STEM, Robotics, and Academic Camps for Grades 1–12 GrowWise School brings small-group coding, AI, robotics, and math camps to Dublin Boulevard this June through August DUBLIN, CA — GrowWise School, a K–12 enrichment center at 4564 Dublin Blvd in Dublin, has opened enrollment for its 2026 summer camp programs. Weekly sessions run from June through August, with a maximum of 8 students per class. The lineup spans seven programs across three tracks: Academic Camps • Math Olympiad (AMC8/MOEMS) — competitive math training for students preparing for AMC8 and MOEMS competitions • Advanced Math (Algebra II + Precalculus) — accelerated coursework for students who want to get ahead before school starts AI &amp; Game Development Camps • AI Entrepreneur Studio — students use AI automation tools to build and pitch a real product by end of week, led by a founder • Scratch — introductory visual programming for younger students new to coding • Roblox — students learn Lua scripting and publish a playable game by Friday • Robotics Camp — a full-day engineering intensive where students design, build, and race a robot by end of week Creative Writing • Young Authors Camp — a full-day writing studio where students write and publish their own book by Friday "Every student leaves with something real — a published game, a working robot, a completed book," said Anshika Verma, founder of GrowWise. "That's what makes this different from a typical summer program." GrowWise serves families across Dublin, Pleasanton, San Ramon, Livermore, and the broader Tri-Valley area. Programs are open to grades 1–12 depending on the track. Full program details and weekly enrollment are available at growwiseschool.org/camps/summer.

Personal Training with Unlimited DEXA and VO2 Max

Custom Fit

Most training programs run on guesswork. Custom Fit replaces it with measurement. At its San Francisco studios, Personal Training and Partner Training memberships include unlimited DEXA body-composition scans and VO2 max testing — diagnostics usually sold one scan at a time or reserved for specialized clinics. Custom Fit members can test as often as they train. The reasoning is straightforward. A DEXA scan measures fat, lean muscle, and bone density with clinical precision. A VO2 max test measures the body's maximum oxygen uptake, one of the strongest predictors of cardiovascular fitness and long-term health. Run those tests on a regular cadence and a member can see exactly what is changing, where, and whether a program is working — rather than relying on the scale or the mirror. That is the idea behind Custom Fit's positioning: not a gym, a performance lab. Every program is built from a member's measured body composition and cardiovascular capacity, then adjusted as the data moves. The goal is to eliminate the guesswork that defines most fitness routines and to treat training as something you can verify. The model also brings longevity diagnostics that usually live in concierge medicine into a routine training week. Body composition and cardiovascular capacity are central markers of how well a person is aging, and regular testing keeps those numbers visible rather than treating them as an occasional, expensive add-on. Custom Fit operates in Hayes Valley (323 Octavia Street), on Market Street (1844 Market), and with a Downtown San Francisco location on Battery Street (570 Battery) opening soon. Personal Training, Partner Training, and select memberships include the testing. More information is available at customfitsf.com.

Happy Valley Art School

Happy Valley Art School is a premier local art academy dedicated to nurturing creativity and artistic excellence in students ages 5–18. With a comprehensive and professionally designed curriculum, the school supports young artists at every stage—from imaginative beginners to advanced high school students preparing competitive college portfolios. For younger students, creative art classes focus on exploration, imagination, and hands-on discovery. Children experiment with watercolor, acrylic, pastel, clay, and mixed media while learning foundational concepts such as color theory, composition, and visual storytelling. These classes build confidence, fine motor skills, and a lifelong love for art in a supportive and encouraging environment. As students grow, the program transitions into structured fundamental drawing and fine art training. Students develop strong observational skills, master perspective, understand light and shadow, and learn proportion and composition. Through pencil, charcoal, ink, and painting techniques, they build a solid technical foundation that strengthens both artistic ability and critical thinking skills. For dedicated middle and high school students, Happy Valley Art School offers advanced portfolio development with individualized mentorship. Students explore concept development, theme-based projects, figure drawing, and refined technical practices while building cohesive, college-ready portfolios. The program is ideal for students applying to art, design, architecture, and other competitive university programs where strong visual presentation is essential. What sets Happy Valley Art School apart is its commitment to small class sizes and personalized instruction. Experienced instructors provide professional guidance while encouraging each student’s unique voice. The school emphasizes both technical rigor and creative growth, ensuring measurable progress and artistic maturity. Beyond the classroom, students participate in exhibitions, co

Emerald High School

Academic achievement alone will not prepare teens for the AI-era workplace. This 90-minute workshop for parents and caregivers focuses on the social-emotional competencies — self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making — that form the foundation for workplace readiness.
Top employers agree. In a January 2025 Education Week feature, Google's global head of education impact, Jennie Magiera, named these exact CASEL competencies as traits her teams prize, noting that Google values social-emotional skills as much as technical talent.¹ Microsoft's vice president of education, Paige Johnson, added that the top skills needed to navigate complexity and change in the age of AI remain uniquely human.¹ These "durable human skills" also underpin the capabilities the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2025 identifies as essential for tomorrow's workforce, including resilience, flexibility, creative thinking, and lifelong learning.²
Led by Heather Thompson of Attachment Matters, LLC, the session explores how attachment styles shape a child's capacity to develop these competencies and thrive. You'll leave with practical strategies to build the secure foundation your teen needs for future career readiness.
