After School Course Descriptions Basketball– On the Court X-perience:

This co-ed basketball clinic is perfect to get a child up and moving at the end of the school day. Each session includes skill instruction, exciting competitions and a full court basketball scrimmage. Players will improve their individual skills such as passing, dribbling, shooting and rebounding while learning how to work within the framework of a team. Each player will receive a t-shirt

and prizes are awarded during the final session.

Young Rembrandts– Drawing:

Start by igniting your preschooler’s imagination as

they draw our attention-grabbing lessons focused on

mastering basic skills like circles and patterning. In

January a drawing of a mouthwatering pizza and

an endearing duck will bring out the artistic skills and

advanced creativity. February lessons bring out the

adventurer in Young Rembrandts students as we

complete an adorable puppy, silly parrot and a

very cool pirate ship!

at home. Students can participate in eSports League races

against other schools across the country with a chance to have
