After School Enrichment

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN ACADEMY LOWER SCHOOL

AFTERSCHOOL CLUBS, CLASSES, AND ACTIVITIES FALL 2023

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 the full school year and others will run by semester only.  Additional clubs/activities will be added for the spring semester.  Spring semester offerings will be available for sign ups before Christmas break.  
 
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.
