28 Dec The Afterschool Collective

Welcome to a multidisciplinary After-School experience that takes a wholesome approach to youth education!

By joining the core strengths of a variety of after-school programs we provide students with a holistic exposure to the most important aspects of their formative years. With STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) and overall wellness education, we engage their creativity and curiosity for learning.

Our program aims to create a healthier community while connecting students through exploratory projects and interactions, including an end-of-program presentation. View our collection of quality, well-vetted partners below!

• Mondays: Music Exploration by Musical Ears: Musical Ears aims to introduce kids to the joy of music! Through sonic discovery, they will learn fundamental musical concepts such as harmony, rhythm, ear training, and melody while being introduced to music culture and history. Our students will learn to appreciate music at an early age and enjoy its many benefits (artistic, educational, personal, and social) without the frustration of private music lessons. We learn in an interactive play-based group setting
• Tuesdays: Engineering by Snapology: Does your little learner love to tinker and create new things, or are they the kind of learner who likes to break things apart to see what’s inside? If so, they’re going to love Snapology’s Foundational Engineering: Machines and Contraptions program! This program gives your student the tools they need to understand mechanical movement and the importance of simple machines. They will see these moving parts up-close as they follow instructions to build various machines and contraptions, then use the models to develop new design ideas, test out physics concepts, and even play games with their partners and classmates.
• Wednesdays: Robotics and Coding by Snapology: Snapology’s Real World Robotics focuses on the real-life applications of robotics. In this program, your engineer will explore the basics of robotics while building some amazing & helpful devices with their classmates! They will explore how robots help humans live in the modern world and explore other worlds.
• Thursdays: Creative Expression through Art: As your child learns about different types of art and the periods in which they were created, students will also be interpreting what they see and creating their own artworks with various mediums. This series is comprised of in studio sessions and walking field trips locally to find artistic inspiration.
• Fridays: FitQuest Junior: An exhilarating fitness program designed specifically for students in Grades 4-8, aiming to foster a holistic approach to health and wellness. Led by expert and energetic fitness instructors, along with input from industry experts, this program combines physical activity, teamwork, and self-awareness to promote a lifelong commitment to a healthy lifestyle.
