General InformationOur 2014 – 2015 school year is now well past the midway point and although winter is still with us for a little while longer, springtime is approaching. it’s with this look toward renewal and rebirth, and some much needed warmer temperatures, that we introduce the spring term menu of After School and music School selections.

many of our outstanding Caedmon faculty members continue to enthrall us with a range of fun activities. Upper Level families will recognize Mr. Storti’s Board Games 1.0 and 2.0 classes are back. Children learn best when they take an active role in play and Board Games perfectly illustrates that point. Mrs. Cannon, also from Upper Level, brings a pair of classes to the program – Radical Robotics, where students both create and program robots, and World of Fashion, a design class where the children will make clothes and accessories.

For our younger friends, Early program’s Ms. Alcindor is offering two classes – Junior Wordsmiths for children eager to build on their knowledge of letters and words and A Numbers Game where students will have fun as they are challenged with a variety of counting and sorting materials.

Our sports-minded children have a myriad of activities available. Among them are PopFit Kids, where children combine circuit training athletics with movements and games; the always exciting Dodgeball; and Caedmon Hoops, a perfect place to develop those dribbling and shooting skills necessary to become a player.

please remember that Caedmon After School classes are 40, 60 or 80 minutes in length with pick up times at 4:20, 4:40 or 5:00. Off-site classes may run about 10 – 15 minutes later. Check the class listing carefully so you or your child’s caretaker knows when the class ends.
