After-School programming is in full swing and we are excited for the 2023-2024 school year!
We are planning ahead for Summer and welcome your questions and early planning.
After-School sessions run every day that school is session. 3:30pm-5:25pm, Wednesdays 2pm-5:25pm.
Summer Sessions run every day from 8AM to 5PM, and our goal is to serve families who need us full-time. Plan with us for full days, experiential learning, lots of time in the outdoors and some great trips!
We also offer experiential full-day trips on days off from school and holiday breaks.

Discovery and Learning
We love to punctuate Summer and After-School with a variety of lessons, learning targets, and mindful moments.
The experiential education model has become popular, and I can say with confidence that we practice hands-on-learning with an emphasis on Teachable Moments. Being outside in a variety of settings is a huge opportunity to engage with students.
