About Diverg.
We are on a mission to revolutionize hybrid learning for kids who need extra support and thrive with individualized learning that prioritizes choice, independence, and engagement.
Our programs offers an opportunity for learners to engage in a child-led, interest-based environment that nurtures their innate curiosity and need for connection, while fostering a lifelong love of learning. Students will be invited to help select activities based on their unique interests, as we explore a variety of subjects including STEM, Science, ART, History, Social Studies and more.
Run by a talented team of neuroaffirming professionals, we create learning spaces that prioritize community, regulation, and engagement.
