SCHOOL AGE PROGRAMS

(FROM KINDERGARTEN TO 12 YEARS OLD)

An Independent school for independent minds

Before & After School

AFTER-SCHOOL IS MORE THAN HOMEWORK

Our school age program promotes experiences and opportunities that enhance rather than duplicate the school day. Children arrive before school and participate in quiet activities, games and enjoy breakfast before the bus arrives. In the afternoon we realize that after their busy day at school the children need to relax and regroup. 

Our curriculum allows for both structured and unstructured activities as well as homework assistance. Supervised play, group games, outdoor exploration, gym and playground time are just a few of the activities on the agenda for our older children.

Our Before/After School program services the following schools for now: Cimmaron, Rylander, West Memorial, Memorial Parkway, Fielder, Winborn. 

Our Before/After School Program runs from mid-August to the last week of May each year. We follow the Katy ISD calendar. Students enrolled in our program are welcome to attend our center during school holidays and inclement weather delays and/or closing (for an additional fee). We understand that our School’s community is enriched by its members’ varying.

PRACTICING CITIZENSHIP

Our full day school age program will welcome children when their elementary school is not in session. These “camp” days aim to customize the experience for each student based on individual interests and passions. We seek to ignite a “Shoot for The Stars” mentality in every child. Through a wide range of age-appropriate activities, children can explore, discover what they enjoy doing, and pursue that passion while also making friends and having fun. 

Homework

Our educated teachers work with your children to help them with their home work, so that they can finish their homework before even they go home, so that you do not have to spend your time doing home work with them. The level of support we provide during home work is almost at the level of tutoring our students so that they can achieve higher level of scholastic excellence.

Working Together

We take pride in doing several activities with students so that they can learn how to work with each other. We form different kind of activity clubs focused on certain subjects from their curriculum, to keep them entertained and with a focus on how they work together to achieve success.

Winter / Spring Break + SUMMER CAMP

STEAM Learning

Our summer camp curriculum incorporates STEAM learning (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) into exciting and fun experiences for your child every day! The basis of our curriculum is that children experience the most genuine learning when they are having a good time. With weekly themes and exciting field trips, our campers never want to leave. We create an environment where the kids are able to be themselves, while making lasting friendships and creating memories.

Whether your child is a budding scientist, a soccer enthusiast, an aspiring artist, or an adventurer at heart, we have a wide range of activities to captivate their imagination. From STEM challenges to arts and crafts, sports to outdoor adventures, our camp is a hub of diverse experiences. 

Our camps emphasize awareness, imagination, social and cognitive development. Our campers engage in a range of activities to explore their interests and discover their strengths. Whether it’s arts and crafts, sports, science, technology or super fun field trips, our campers become more social and intuitive. Our campers are always looking for something new and are willing to venture out to learn different things. Our activities encourage independence, healthy friendships and initiating leadership. Your children are bound to an enriching experience! 

We offer daily educational activities to reduce brain drain! Our Summer Camps provide time for structured learning with Math, Reading, Spelling, Writing and Geography.  We don’t want to let the summer fun drown out all the knowledge the kids gained during the school year!  We will have project-based play to reduce boredom and stimulate creative play. 

Each week will offer something fresh and fun, with lots of free play and 2 field trips per week.  You can choose to sign up for the entire summer or choose the week-s you want to attend.
