Beyond The Classroom: Before & After School: K-5th Graders

Where Learning Meets Adventure! Make this school year one to remember with our Before and After School Program, where kids explore, create, and learn in a safe, supportive environment. Each week, students dive into exciting STEAM projects in science, technology, engineering, art, and math, and enjoy hands-on ocean life lessons through our partnership with Mote Marine Laboratory. Daily homework help and access to Khan Academy support academic success, while a variety of sports, art, and creative activities ensure there’s something for everyone. Most importantly, students build friendships, discover new interests, and create lasting memories—all while having fun! Click here for information on our all-day camps.
