Weekend Programs

Making Saturdays a launchpad for curiosity, growth, and connection.

Weekend Programs

Overview

What this is all about

Our Weekend Programs extend enrichment beyond the school week. Through Saturday classes, workshops, and family activities, students dive deeper into interests, get extra academic support, and connect with mentors — while families find community. It is weekend time well spent.

Learning does not stop on Friday. Our Weekend Programs give students a productive, positive place to spend Saturdays — whether they need extra academic support, want to explore a passion, or are looking for a welcoming community. Sessions are relaxed but purposeful, blending enrichment with connection.

Weekends are also for families. We host activities that bring parents and children together and strengthen the bonds that help kids thrive, turning the weekend into a source of momentum for the week ahead.
