Our after school program is aimed at providing interesting and fun activities that expand your child’s skills and talents. After school activities are open to all students in Kindergarten through 8th grades.
We offer several choices for after school classes on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from right after dismissal to 4:45 PM. We also offer a late option called homework help, that enables children to remain on campus with a member of our faculty until 6 PM.
Our programs provide enriching experiences, in which children can explore different activities, develop new skills, hone established skills, and socialize with other students. Chess, magic, science, aviation, drama, and dance are examples of the different choices students have – each semester’s offerings are slightly different.
5th – 8th graders are eligible to partake in our coeducational interscholastic sports teams. During the fall season, our teams play soccer, in the winter basketball, and the spring volleyball.
The school competes in the CONSAT league, with other schools that field coed teams and games feature a heavy emphasis on team play and sportsmanship.
