Academy of St. Joseph

2024 After School Program

Overview

We’re looking forward to partnering with the Academy of St. Joseph to provide After-school & Enrichment programming for the 2024-2025 school year.

At Academy of St. Joseph, we offer two distinct after-school program options to suit the needs of our families. Our Full After-School Program provides comprehensive childcare for working families, including homework help, sports, movement, arts, and STEM from Monday to Friday, 3:00-5:30 pm, ensuring a safe and engaging environment for your child every day.

For families looking to focus on more specific skills, our Enrichment Program offers specialized classes once a week, prioritizing skill development in various areas such as Chess, Soccer, Fencing, and Karate. You have the flexibility to choose either program individually or combine both to create a well-rounded after-school experience tailored to your child and family’s needs.

A 10% sibling discount is applied for all siblings after the first when 2 or more children within the same family are registered for the same type of class. They can be in different sections of the class, but must take part in the same activity to receive the discount. As there are different vendors providing classes, discounts are not able to be shared across the program.

Example of discount: A brother in Kindergarten Basketball and a sister in 3rd grade Basketball will receive the sibling discount.
Example of no discount: A brother in Kindergarten Basketball and a sister in 3rd grade STEM will NOT receive the sibling discount, as they are enrolled in different activities.

To receive the sibling discount: A 10% sibling discount is applied for all siblings after the first when 2 or more children within the same family are registered for the same enrichment class. The sibling discount difference will be refunded after the first few weeks of program.

Within the first two full weeks of Enrichment classes, if you are not 100% satisfied with your class purchase, you may transfer your child into another class. Fees may apply due to varied class costs. No refunds will be given after the second full week of Enrichment classes. There are no refunds or discounts for being absent due to sickness, vacation, inclement weather, other programming, or any other reason including moving, transferring, unexpected circumstances, etc.

During class, it is asked that parents, guardians, siblings, and other friends and family remain outside the school/classroom unless otherwise instructed by the teacher of the class. While it is always a pleasure to see everyone, the excitement can distract the students and divert attention from the instructor.
