BSF A year-long screen-free adventure

Storied Ages

The journey through the ages.

Four screen-free clubs across one school year, each six weeks long — together, the whole sweep of history, one Tuesday afternoon at a time. Told aloud, talked over, and made by hand. Join a single adventure, or travel through them all.

A school year of wonder

Four clubs, marching forward through time.

Across the 2026–27 school year, four six-week clubs walk the classical history cycle in order — exactly as a classical education does — from the gods of Olympus to the dawn of flight. Each club is complete on its own; your child can hop on at any stop, or follow the whole road.

Travel all four, and your child journeys the entire story of the world — and stands at year's end having told its great tales by heart. Each cohort runs back-to-back, so a child can flow from one into the next, or join fresh at any stop.

What your child carries home

More than an after-school hour.

A small, screen-free circle where the oldest stories do their oldest work — delight first, and everything else quietly underneath.

A love of the great stories

The stories that sit beneath all of Western literature — met first as pure delight.

Deep, screen-free focus

An hour of the absorbed attention a device interrupts — and children quietly crave.

Their people

A small circle of kids who light up at the same things. Belonging, not just enrichment.

Character, drawn from heroes

Courage, loyalty, mercy, justice — virtue learned through story, the way it sticks.

A voice, and the confidence to use it

Children learn to speak, wonder, and reason out loud — and by the end, to stand and tell a great story by heart.

Every child leaves with something they made, a head full of stories, and the quiet pride of having fallen in love with something real.

The journey, week by week

See how every club unfolds.

Four six-week arcs, each building to its own feast. Here's the whole road — one week at a time.

How an hour works

One gentle rhythm, every week.

The whole hour is oral, hands-on, and device-free — and the same six-beat shape runs through all four clubs, so a child who knows one knows them all.

A glimpse of next week
No homework. No pressure. No screens. Just an hour to wonder.

Every club ends in a feast.

Families gather, and each child tells a tale by heart — creations raised, stories learned, a celebration of all they've made. Every parent watches their child stand and share, without a screen in sight. They are the warmest evenings of the year.

Enrollment opens about three weeks before each club begins. Dates follow the school's 2026–27 calendar, and any break weeks shift to match the school's official dates.

Enrollment

One flat rate per club.

Every club is the full six-week journey, all materials included — and there are two gentle ways to save.

$175 / club
the full six-week journey · all materials included
Bring a sibling — save $25
Enrolling a brother or sister in the same club? Take $25 off the second child. Adventures are better shared.
Travel the whole year — save $100
Reserve all four clubs and journey from the ancient world to the modern age for $600 — that's $100 off the full year.

Each club is one immersive six-week arc — not a weekly drop-in. The stories build week on week, and the showcase is the payoff. Everything is provided — the books, the materials, and the feast. Families bring nothing but curiosity. Spots are kept small to keep each circle close.

How payment works — simple and no-pressure. Choose your club(s) in the form below. We'll email you to confirm your child's spot and send a secure link to pay for exactly what you chose. Nothing is charged until your place is confirmed.
The text behind the clubs

Read from real, beautiful books.

Each session is told from a richly illustrated book — so children have a picture to look into as they listen. The screen-free opposite of a glowing tablet. Every era has its own luminous spine.

Care & safety

Held with warmth, run with care.

Screened & supervised

Every facilitator completes the background screening required for child-facing work in Florida, and follows the school's standard supervision and sign-out procedures.

Privacy-first, by default

We never publish children's names or identifiable images. The default is no public use; any sharing is strictly opt-in, and a child's name is never attached.

Honest, gentle history

Older stories hold harder moments. With this age, we tell them honestly but kindly — keeping courage, fairness, and wonder at the center.
