Most schools also have enrichment classes. It’s usually 6-8 weeks per session and can cost $150-400 per session. The cost is in addition to your extended day bill. You still pay extended day. Enrichment can be everything from a teacher at the school doing craft projects to external vendors doing karate lessons or computer coding. Each course is one day a week. Kids go directly after school. When the class is done they go to the lobby for pick up or back to extended day until they are picked up. At our school most enrichment classes are 3:50-4:50pm.

Thanks for the response. Do you know if these enrichment classes are organized by the PTA themselves, or do the PTAs outsource to someone else. FCPS PTAs use Baroody Camps. Is there something similar for APS?

Many APS PTAs use Baroody.

Nice. Thanks

Extended Day is provided by the school system. You opt in in May or so before the next school year and then you choose before school, after school, or both. You pay monthly through MySchoolBucks.

There are also groups that meet after school - Girls on the Run, Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, Odyssey of the Mind, etc. Those are separate from the PTA coordinated enrichments.

Yes. I think the PTAs coordinate them but they aren't free to participants.

There is also extended day, which is paid after care.

Are the programs provided by the schools or PTAs?
