Alma Bella Academy at 1901 Old Bermuda Hundred Road in Chester runs a themed-week summer camp mixing academics, STEAM, art, team-building, and physical activity, alongside its homeschool hybrid program, after-school enrichment, tutoring, and field trips. It was founded by Dr. Debi Graves, a former public school teacher of 25 years who now trains teachers at the college level. The affiliated nonprofit Alma Bella Foundation supports the camps, field trips, after-school enrichment, and Bible study.

Took the stained glass class. Dr. Graves and her mother were great instructors . Very patient and informative. Created a beautiful sun catcher in less than two hours. Great place for a girls night out or Saturday crafting. Will definitely be back for another class soon.
Dr. Graves and staff are incredible with kids of all ages. We opted for a few weeks of themed summer camp this summer, and it's been awesome. Kids are encouraged to unleash their creativity when they're at Alma Bella, and we couldn't be happier. I love the no screen mentality. They're engaged, compassionate, and fun, all the while kids are learning various life skills, including problem solving. The art that comes home blows my mind. Highly recommend!
Recently took a Glass Pinwheel class at Alma Bella Academy and LOVED it! Fabulous class!! I DEFINITELY want to take another class soon--maybe pottery, which I have always wanted to try!!! I love Debi Graves' way of talking to people and teaching the adults as well as the Summer Camp children (whom I had observed the previous week)!!
Highly recommend. My daughter adores her visits to Alma Bella Academy ❤️ She is so proud of the things she creates and always leaves with a smile.
