Our "TNG" session is dedicated to "The Next Generation" of LAYAYA. They meet once a week (Thursday) for sessions that allow them to sample all of the things that LAYAYA has to offer. While there is a focus on visual arts, they also get sessions focused on theater/film, creative writing, culinary arts, music and STEM/STEAM sessions. This approach allows students to try a variety of things and helps them identify interests and talents as they move towards graduating up to the next level. Due to
