Lower School Clubs

Create And Explore

Enhance your child’s academic and creative experience by registering for an After School Club. Clubs meet once a week for one hour, unless otherwise noted in the descriptions below, and are open to all students beginning in mid September. Children enrolled in a club may remain at school in the extended day program between dismissal and 3:15 pm.

Those who receive an aid grant from the School may be eligible for financial aid for this program due to a generous donor fund. Please contact Jamie Semel if you are interested in receiving aid for a club. 

After School Clubs fill fast so register soon!
