After-School Program
Our After-School program is open on every public school school day (as determined by the Cambridge Public school calendar). For academic year 2023-2024, the first school day is Sept 5th 2023. The last school day is Jun 21st 2024 (Total 180 school days). If classes are cancelled due to unpredictable circumstances, we will push back the last day of school in order to make up the classes accordingly (up to three make-up days). The classes are held each school day from 3:30pm to 5:00pm and are open to students age 6 years (as of 9/1/2023) or older. Each class size is limited to 5 to 20 students. It is required that each student register for at least 3 classes (3 school days) per school week. To register for the after-school program,
