Vellotti’s Education was established in 2004 in Boise, ID with an outreach to both Sun Valley, ID & Los Angeles, CA.

We believe that students ages 4-11 learn best when lessons are interactive and improve the quickest while having a blast. Using games, stories, and FUN magical adventures we build confidence and self-esteem, sparking a lifelong love of learning!

Summer Camp adventure quests include Minecraft, Pokemon, Harry Potter, LEGO and many more. Students will also advance through our special 9-Level System to Chess Mastery unlocking chess t-shirts, medals, trophies, and prizes for all.
