After School Programs

Extending Learning, Building Skills, and Creating Community

At St. Bernadette School, learning doesn’t end when the last bell rings. Our after-school programs offer students safe, engaging, and enriching opportunities that support academic growth, personal development, and creativity. Whether students need time to complete homework, want to explore new interests, or develop lifelong skills, there’s something for everyone in our vibrant after-school community.

Extended Day Program

Our Extended Day Program is open to students in Kindergarten through Grade 8 and operates from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM on regular school days. The program provides:

• Supervised homework time and academic support

• Arts and crafts, games, and recreational activities

• Time for social interaction and quiet reflection

• A safe and familiar environment staffed by trusted faculty and staff

This program supports working families while reinforcing the structure and values of the school day.

Academic & Enrichment Clubs

St. Bernadette offers a variety of after-school enrichment activities that encourage students to explore their passions and sharpen their skills:

• Homework Club: Open to students in grades 4–8, Homework Club provides a quiet, supervised setting for completing assignments, reviewing material, and building strong study habits.

• Organizational Skills Group: This faculty-led program helps students in the upper grades learn time management, planning strategies, locker and binder organization, and effective habits for academic success.

• Math League: Students in grades 4–8 can participate in math enrichment and competitions that challenge and inspire logical thinking and problem-solving.

• LEGO Robotics Club: A highlight of the school’s STEM focus, this club gives students hands-on experience in building, programming, and competing with LEGO robots.

• Choir and Art Enrichment: Opportunities for students to engage in music and visual arts outside of regular classroom instruction.

Building Community After Hours

Our after-school programs reflect the same values we hold during the school day: respect, responsibility, faith, and curiosity. Whether a student is collaborating with peers in Robotics, reviewing for a math quiz, or learning how to organize their materials for success, these experiences build character, independence, and confidence. Parents appreciate the flexibility and the meaningful ways their children are engaged after school hours—and students love having a chance to learn, connect, and grow.
