Our students learn in and out of the classroom. Our after school activities are led by our talented staff and proven community partners to provide a safe, supportive place for academic enrichment and fun.

“The Dragons After Dismissal is an engaging, safe, and supportive environment with many enrichment activities to spark a child’s curiosity. The children explore art, theater, athletics, music, debate, student government, radio production, cooking, character education and STEM activities. And they connect to community resources that support them beyond school.”
