After Care And Enrichment

The After School Program or ACE as we like to call it, allows students to indulge in their hobbies and interests. Classes include chess, painting, dance, engineering, and sports. Because courses are offered on different days, students can choose a variety of Enrichment classes each semester.

  • What is ACE?

    The Benjamin School offers an After School Care program for children in PK3–Grade 5, beginning as soon as the children are dismissed from their classes until 6:00 p.m. Homework time, snacks and age-appropriate activities are supervised by our team of After School Care counselors. Children must be pre-registered.. All Benjamin rules and policies in the Student-Parent Handbook apply to After School Care.
  • What is Enrichment?

    Enrichment classes offer students the opportunity to explore and develop a variety of new interests and reinforce favorite activities. All classes are presented in a fun and skill-building environment. A description of Enrichment classes and registration will be available online. An email will be sent to you when registration is open. All registration and payment must be completed online. Children who miss all or part of a school day because of absence will not be allowed to participate in Enrichment. Children are picked up by the aftercare staff and taken to the enrichment room.

    Students enrolled in Enrichment classes are escorted and signed in to the Enrichment area by an Aftercare staff member. They will be given a snack and start their homework while they wait for the class to begin. They will then be picked up and escorted to the Enrichment class by their instructor. There is NO charge for aftercare service prior to enrichment classes. Students needing After Care after Enrichment class should register online. We do not offer drop in or day rates due to staffing and safety reasons.
