"When I moved to Danville, my plan was to stay here temporarily until I was able to start my master's degree at the UVa and then move to Charlottesville.  I was planning to reluctantly sell my house and move to Charlottesville in early 2008, but thanks to the Institute for Advanced Learning and Research, I can continue to live in the community I love here in Danville and pursue my degree with UVa."

SSA Camps - Brick Lab
  "I learned a lot about engineering during the BrickLabTM Camp. I learned about different structures, such as pyramids and castles, and how important it is to know how things work together."  - Fourth Grade Student

"My son, Mark, enjoyed the camp. He was excited to do hands-on experiments and make tangible things. He actually felt like a real scientist." -David Satterfield, Parent
