The school offers several fun and engaging after-school programs for children of all ages. We are also looking to add more classes to continue providing a variety of options. Programs we are currently investigating include French club, science club, photography, and a soccer class for Children’s House ages. If you are interested in helping to arrange or teach any of these (or other) classes, please let us know.
