Clubs

Our clubs meet for 8-10 weeks at a time and create spaces for your child to dig deeper into a particular subject area or activity and have fun while learning. Club topics vary—from cooking to basketball to origami—according to student interests and areas of expertise our school-age educators bring to the program.
