Enrichment Classes for Elementary Students - 2025

After-school enrichment classes are offered for elementary students. Families register for classes that run from 3:30 to 4:30 PM. When enrolled in an enrichment class, students receive complimentary extended care from 3:00 to 3:30 and a snack. Enrichment class payments are non-refundable, regardless of individual circumstances, after the first class has been held. Parents are given adequate advance notice if the enrichment class is canceled due to low enrollment. 

Three enrichment sessions are scheduled during the school year. The offerings may change for each of the sessions. Extended care options and offerings will be shared via the Ventana Weekly prior to the start of each new session. This will also include information about how to register.

Elementary Enrichment sessions conclude at 4:30 PM. Students who have not been picked up by the end of their Enrichment Session will be escorted to the supervised Extended Care program and signed in by the instructor. Families can purchase “top-ups” to secure care from 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM.
