Junior Einsteins Science Club®Academy
The gold standard in hands-on primary science

The primary science and STEM platform for international schools

A tried and tested, complete primary science system that strengthens and enhances your primary science curriculum, STEM provision and co-curricular enrichment, led by your own teachers.

Teachers fall in love with the science first. The children catch it from them.

What the Academy strengthens in every partner school

Primary science curriculum

Ready-to-teach session scripts built on universal scientific concepts, mapped to the curriculum your school teaches.

STEM provision

Engineering, robotics, climate, space and medical science, run with confidence by every class teacher.

ECA and co-curricular activities

After-school clubs, Science Week, holiday camps and science shows that parents hear about at home.

Why we exist

Every child is a natural scientist, and their teacher is the one to prove it

Why
Every child deserves to discover that science is for them, at the age when it matters most. The person best placed to spark that is the teacher already in the room. The world needs more scientists than ever, and that pipeline starts in primary school.
How
We put the magic in the teacher's hands. Session scripts are written word for word with step-by-step photographs, so any teacher becomes the confident science expert in the room. The 'Junior Einsteins' work hands-on and screen-free, in small groups, in lab coats and goggles.
What
The Junior Einsteins Science Club® Academy: an annual partnership giving every teacher an ever-growing library of session scripts, themed collections, learning pathways, knowledge checks and certification, with everything needed for lessons, clubs and camps.

The platform

Everything on screen for the teacher, real science in the children's hands

The Academy gives each teacher the full session on screen, so the children's hour is spent at the bench: building, testing, predicting and discovering, completely hands-on.

A session course in the Academy, open on the Explore page, with a tip from the script reminding the teacher that every child in the group gets a turn
Every session is an on-screen course, page by page. Tips from the script pop up where they matter: safety, planning ahead, and making sure every child is included.

Around the science

Everything your teachers and leaders need

Each partnership comes with a complete professional journey for teachers, and clear evidence of learning for leaders, parents and inspectors.

About 7 hoursof preparation saved for each teacher, every week
100%of teachers surveyed in our Trinity College Dublin award-winning programme reported strong pupil engagement and their own enthusiasm for the experiments and scripts
Over a decadewith many of our partner schools, and counting
01Professional development

Full access to the Junior Einsteins Science Club® Academy: training courses, word-for-word session scripts and step-by-step photographic instructions, with knowledge checks along the way.

02Teacher certification

Guided learning paths lead to Teacher Certification, and every teacher receives a real certificate for their professional development.

03The Gold Standard Checklist

A simple checklist for every session, so each teacher can see it is running perfectly, plus an observation form for your science leads.

04Pupil assessments

Quick for teachers and made for the children, following each 'Junior Einstein' as a young scientist. Kept by your school, so the Academy stays adult-only.

05Your Child's Science Journey

Optional progress home to parents, once a term: a warm summary in plain language, about their own child.

06Inspections & accreditation

A dedicated course and clear evidence of learning, ready for inspection and for CIS, Cognia, NEASC and IB programme evaluation.

07Lesson log and insights

Teachers record each lesson in a tap. Leaders see 'Junior Einsteins' reached, teacher confidence and the class favourites across the school.

08Ownership and autonomy

Each teacher gathers their own one-off equipment, sourced locally with our illustrated guide, and packs their session box. They come to know every item and why it matters, deepen their own understanding, and become the confident STEM person in the school.

Why teachers love it
  • The scripts are a joy to read, full of brilliant facts and stories, so teachers learn something new with every session.
  • Putting the box together brings real pride: the teacher knows each experiment inside out before the children arrive.
  • Every step is written word for word, so preparation is calm, quick and confident.
  • Teachers become the science person among colleagues, and among friends too.

In their own words

Loved by principals, teachers and 'Junior Einsteins'

"As a forward-thinking international school, we place great importance on developing curiosity, critical thinking and collaboration... Junior Einsteins brings these qualities to life through engaging, inquiry-based scientific exploration. One of my favourite sights has been watching our youngest Kindergarten students, dressed in their lab coats and safety goggles, ready to investigate absolutely everything! That sense of excitement, wonder and discovery is exactly what we want to nurture in young learners."

Barnaby Sandow, former Principal, Nord Anglia International School Dublin

"Junior Einsteins Science Club has worked with Willow Park Junior School for a number of years, delivering Science sessions that sit seamlessly within our extracurricular programme... I am very happy to recommend Ms Cassidy and the Junior Einsteins Science Club to any school or organisation looking to offer high-quality, hands-on STEM experiences for their learners."

Mr Jim Casey, Principal, Willow Park Junior School, Blackrock College, Dublin

"I have had nothing but compliments from our students, parents and staff from their interactions with you and your team... Thanks for imparting your love of science to our students and keep up the great work."

Michael Dunphy, Co-curricular Co-ordinator, Nord Anglia International School Dublin

"On the ground here in Riyadh we are seeing messy science and loud science! The children are fully engaging with the sessions."

April Peters, Founding Principal, Brooke House College Riyadh

"Working with you has been a wonderful scientific journey filled with creativity, thought, planning, and execution."

Yasmin M Salem, STEAM Coordinator, Brooke House College Riyadh

"Junior Einsteins Science Club builds on science experiences that draw on children's interests, letting children discover science concepts for themselves as they explore and learn. It transcends all age groups and became the highlight with the children."

Gillian Dawson, Vice Principal, Sharavogue School, Dublin

"The children really enjoy their Junior Einsteins Science Club experiments, and probably don't realise how much they're learning. Getting them so young is a great idea, and who knows what these future Einsteins may come up with!"
