Advent’s After-School Program is much more than an extension of the school day—it’s a continuation of our commitment to curiosity, creativity, and joyful learning. Grounded in the Reggio Emilia philosophy, the Enrichment Program invites children to follow their interests, collaborate with peers, and engage in hands-on exploration that deepens their understanding of the world around them.

Each afternoon, students from every grade have the opportunity to enroll in a wide range of After-School courses—nearly 50 each week. These offerings are thoughtfully designed to balance academic rigor with play, creativity, and social connection. Children might build and program robots in a STEM lab, explore movement through sports or dance, experiment with materials in art and design studios, or learn a new instrument or language.

Every class includes time for focused learning, a healthy snack, outdoor recess, and a group activity that reinforces collaboration and community. Whether a child joins for one course or participates throughout the week, Advent’s Enrichment Program nurtures the same spirit of inquiry and reflection that defines our school day—helping students grow as thinkers, creators, and friends.
