Science of Transformations
A Weekly Day Program for Middle Schoolers
Mugwort’s is a weekly hands-on, out-in-the-field, multidisciplinary program. This year’s theme is the Science of Transformations. Which includes biological transformations, geological transformations, and chemical transformations in nature, as well as transformations that come from plant medicine making and use. Students will also be covering social emotional learning topics and learn pre/post documentary making to document their year. The class will take place at various locations in Orange County, which include OC parks, beaches, and the Newport Back Bay Science Center.
Throughout the program, students will engage in hands-on activities and experiments, as well as discussions and research projects, to deepen their understanding of each topic. They will have opportunities to explore how these different types of transformations are interconnected, helping them to develop a more holistic understanding of the world around them.
THIS IS A YEAR LONG COMMITMENT CLASS. The price listed is per semester. You will automatically be enrolled for the Spring. If you don't continue for Spring Semester there will be a 10% fee (of the cost of the class) to cover finding a replacement.

TESTIMONIALS
My family has been a part of AWI since the very beginning. My children have taken classes with Sama Wareh, Nishat Ahmed, Sarah Hafeez, and many more teachers. The teachers bring so much love, passion, and creativity to their areas of expertise. They know how to bring the subject to life while also addressing the child's socio-emotional learning. I love the different teaching styles the various teachers have used and they have truly instilled the love of learning in our children.
Thank you for all the behind-the-scenes work, countless hours spent on lesson planning, and the compassion everyone brings to this platform.

The content offered by AWI is always unique and much needed areas that benefit the kids and the whole family! The teachers are amazing and so creative in keeping the kids engaged and loving the outdoors! I love how the children learn hands-on and more importantly apply what they learn. I’m so grateful to have a place like this for my kids and myself! Our homeschool would not be the same without AWI!

"Mugworts Middle School has been such an amazing addition our homeschooling line up. I can’t convey my gratefulness for AWI and the teachers for all the efforts they put into making each class fun and informative! Every week the teachers haul all their supplies having planned amazing lessons for that day and hold classes in the beautiful outdoors that have so many benefits for children’s brains. I have no words for how blessed our kids. Prayers also for the AWI staff for all they do on the back end to make all this happen. Every week when I pick up my daughter I see the kids all over the park engaged in activities that look so much fun, it makes me want to be a kid again. Appreciate you all!"
