ACTIVITIES

The After School Program provides a safe and secure environment filled with various enrichment learning opportunities for students, including activities to engage their bodies, minds, and creative spirit. Below are some typical activities.


Let's Move! is a daily physical activity. Students choose between organized sports, games, and free play. *


Enrichment is an academic, arts or skill-based activity. Offerings such as drawing, sculpture, music, science, chess, cooking, weaving, or painting are available. During Enrichment, students choose to take part in the activity, explore art materials in a Free Art area, build, do homework, or read. Parents may request that their children complete homework during the After School Program. We provide a quiet area and a staff member oversees work, and the student takes primary responsibility for completing his/her assignments. If further academic support is needed, parent can connect with  our tutoring program. *


Wind Down is a period of free play and quiet activity involving Do-It-Yourself activities and games.


* Students in Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten have their own Let’s Move! and Enrichment activities, and re-join the larger student group for the Wind Down or special whole-group activities.
