We currently offer pick up from PS 340,  PS 41, and Friends Seminary. If your school is within walking distance to Genius Gems NYC, please email us to request school pick up, and please copy the person who coordinates after school programs at your school to see if we can add another school to our pick up schedule.

Students with school pick ups are picked up by a staff member, and brought directly to Genius Gems. They may purchase a snack in our cafe, or bring their own. Following snack break, students will have time to build marbleshoots, code robots, and build with magnetic tiles / earn tokens before or after their class time. This is supervised. If the class is at 3:30, students will have playtime afterwards until 5:30 pm. If the class is at 4:30, most of the supervised play time will be before the class begins.

Can I do the 2.5 hour time if I don't need school pick up? Yes, as long as you sign up for the 2.5 hour time ($49/weekly class), you are welcome to take the class and stay until 5:30 PM. Students that sign up for just the 45 minute class ($36/weekly class) must be picked up promptly at the end of the 45 minute class, or they may be charged additional fees.

What if my child is absent from school or goes home early?
Please email information@geniusgems.com and let us know in advance.

Can I schedule a make up class if I'm traveling?
Yes, you can schedule up to one make-up class per session. The make up class must take place during the current session and canot be rolled over to the next semester. Make up classes are for classes only, they cannot be transferred to general admission or a credit.

Can I sign up for more than one class?
Yes, you can sign up for more than one weekly class, or you can sign up for back to back classes. 

Do you pick up from schools other than Friends Seminary, PS 340 or PS 41?
We are open to other school pick ups in close proximity to Genius Gems NYC, but please email us to coordinate with the school.

What if I have additional questions?
Please email us at information@geniusgems.com and someone will reply within 2-3 days of your inquiry.

Can I get a prorated rate if I join classes late?
Yes! Email us at informtion@geniusgems.com to recieve a discounted rate on classes to account for the weeks that you've missed.

Do you offer trial classes?
For NEW customers who have never taken a class or mini camp before at Genius Gems, you can email us at information@geniusgems.com and if there is space available, we can offer a PAID one time trial to see if your child likes the class. We need at least 48 hours notice to accommodate a trial.  Please contact information@geniusgems.com to see if there is availability. Unfortunately we cannot hold spots for students that wish to try the class before enrolling. 

Families can arrange up to one makeup per class session for a missed class. Unfortunately, we will not be able to accommodate more than one makeup class per session. Makeups must be scheduled before the end of the terms. No refunds or credits will be offered for missed classes. Holidays are already factored into the schedule.

Please let us know if you attend Friends Seminary, or any other institution with a schedule that deviates from the NYC Public School calendar. We may be able to grant additional make-up sessions on a case-by-case basis.
