"The readiness is all."

Shakespeare's Hamlet tells Horatio:   “If it be now, ‘tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come.  The readiness is all”  (Hamlet, V.ii.192-198).

For those of you non-Shakespeare types, here’s the translation:  Whatever is going to happen will happen at some point. You just have to be prepared.

Spark READiness, by its very name, tells you that we seek to prepare kids.


For what are we preparing them? School work? Of course. Tests? Sure. College admission? Absolutely. But your kids’ futures aren’t just about getting top grades and getting into the best colleges. We know you want them to be more than an A or an SAT score. You want them to be innovators. Creators. Thinkers. Informed, civic-minded contributors. Passionate life-long learners. 

Our workshops are designed to be challenging and fun.  Because, as we all know, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.  During normal Spark READiness workshops, it is not unusual for us to listen to music, draw, cast votes, or toss a ball.  Sometimes we’re very quiet. Sometimes we’re quite loud.  But we're never bored!

Are you ready for the sparks to fly?
