After School Programs
Our after school programs take place from roughly 3:00-5:00pm every school day and are an important way to provide extra enrichment for students. It includes 45 minutes of study hall, 30 minutes of PE time, 30 minutes of snack time, and 30 minutes of activity time. Nutrition, Art, and Sports are offered on a rotating basis on Fridays.
Typical after school enrichment classes include:
- Nutrition
- Students learn the nutritional value of different foods in the Basic Food Groups. They participate in the cooking of new foods and discover the origins of foods (roots, leaves, flowers, trees, nuts, dairy, meat, special desserts, salads, etc.)
- Movement Exploration
- Students learn to improve their perceptual motor skills to promote body image, balance, spatial awareness, hand-eye, and foot-eye coordination (visual-motor control), laterality, directionality, and form discrimination.
- Art
- Students explore their creative side through activities in play dough, printing, folding, painting, puppetry, and coloring.
- Study Hall
- We also provide a study hall program to allow students to lessen the amount of time needed at home to complete homework. Students are provided with a quiet place to work and appropriate supervision. Extra help is not provided; however, parents may wish to enlist the services of private individual tutors or group tutoring services.
We also offer Mandarin, Piano, Chinese dance and Tutoring as interest dictates.
