After School & Enrichment
Our after-school programs allow our students to try new things, which fit perfectly with our extended care hours. We offer many options, from sports and art to academic clubs, so every child can find something that they enjoy.
Our programs are a great way for our students to keep learning and working on their individual skills. Whether your child loves being creative, enjoys being active, or wants to learn something new, we help them follow their passions. Many of our programs encourage teamwork and socializing, helping students build friendships and learn how to communicate with others.
