Tired of The Disappointment?

Is your child getting disappointed and frustrated with some of their extracurricular activities?  It’s not their (or your!) fault.  Rigid curriculums, unresponsive instructors, and negative social dynamics can leave children feeling disheartened and discouraged.

It can be difficult to witness teachers' reactions when lessons don't go as planned.  It’s hard to see your child’s confusion when classmates respond negatively.  You may end up feeling protective and helpless, unsure of how to best help them succeed.

If you've experienced these challenges, know that you're not alone.

We believe that kids, especially neurodivergent kids, critically need inclusive, adaptive programs in order to thrive.  And that’s why we created SOMA.

We're Annie and Brian, and We Help Kids Find Magic.

So many students (and parents!) come to us carrying the weight of negative experiences with educational providers who meant well, but didn’t understand their needs. At School of Magic Arts, we're here to turn things around. We believe in creating a supportive and enriching environment where every child can thrive, regardless of their previous experiences.

As seasoned magicians and educators, we are lucky to have had the opportunity to teach thousands of students and we’ve learned, sometimes the hard way, what leads to success and what just doesn’t. We've witnessed firsthand the transformative power of magic in boosting confidence, resilience, and self-expression in children.

Our progressive curriculum and personalized approach ensure that each child receives the attention and guidance they need to succeed.

Student-centered instruction

Our small group classes, engaged instructors, and supportive environment allow every child to showcase their magic, increasing confidence.  We want them to feel empowered to shine, on (and off) the stage.

Remove the Roadblocks

It’s hard to get creative when you don’t have the tools you need.  We send a curated magic kit for every course, so there’s never a meltdown over materials.

Get the Right Support

No matter what program you choose, every child receives personalized attention and mentorship tailored to their needs.  We find kids thrive when they get individualized support, encouragement, and feedback.

But Does it Work?

“Brian and Annie are remarkable instructors who combine their infectious joy for magic with immeasurable patience, kindness, and support for their students. I cannot recommend SOMA enough! Our daughter has gained confidence and learned a new set of skills that will remain with her for years to come.”

for Audrey, age 8

“You and Brian have instilled in her a real love of magic. She’s so proud of her accomplishments with every new pin and is always prepared wherever she goes to demonstrate a new skill that keeps folks scratching their heads. Regulars always ask, ‘What’s new?’ up her sleeve. You should see her face every time one of your boxes comes in the mail.”

“I really appreciate that creating an inclusive and safer space that welcomes diversity and uniqueness is a priority. It’s something very important to me and my family. I also really like the way your program is structured and the emphasis on building self-confidence.”
