The afternoon

What do kids do after school?

During the year, After School students enjoy activities in science, art, music and drama.

Kids have books, computers, arts and crafts, music and a large playground of their own. A separate room is set aside for homework, so your child can focus.

We know kids are hungry after a long school day, so a mid-afternoon snack is provided.
