After School Enrichment
Lower School After School Clubs, Classes, & Activities
We are excited to offer after-school clubs, classes and activities for our lower school students at First Presbyterian Academy at Shannon Forest this year! We have chosen activities that we hope interest the artistic, athletic and academic-minded students. Some of these activities will be available for the full school year and others will run by semester only.
You can sign your student up for an after-school activity without signing up for late stay, as long as you pick your child up from the activity at the scheduled time. If you plan to have your child stay at school past the pick-up time for the chosen activity, you will need to sign them up for our late stay program and the late stay staff will stay until 5pm.
