What are Level Up Village Arts & Sciences courses?
Level Up Village has launched Global Connections, a brand-new and easy-to-use platform with engaging, collaborative courses. Created for students ages 4-18, our Arts & Sciences course exchanges are generally 8 weeks and they are conducted on our secure, teacher-monitored platform through the sharing of asynchronous video. Students get to know each other and then begin exploring the course topics which include music & sound, literature & social studies, and science & ecology.
