Alongside our flexible aftercare program, which helps accommodate today’s busy schedules, we provide on- campus enrichment opportunities for our students after school hours. Led by qualified, third party organizations, these after-school classes rotate daily to give our students added exposure to the arts, sciences, language, leadership, and more.
To accommodate today’s busy parent schedules, we’ve partnered with the well-known Child Education Center in La Canada to provide afterschool care for St. Bede students.
Open to students in all grades, our aftercare program is held on-campus, and offers flex-scheduling from 1 to 5 days a week until 6:00 pm. There are activities, snacks, quiet time, and time for homework.
To ensure the safety of our students, teachers escort children to the aftercare classrooms following the last bell, unless they are first attending an enrichment program, and they are required to be signed out by a pre-approved adult when being picked up.
Chess enrichment classes are offered once a week after school by the Chess Nuts group. Their mission is to bring chess to elementary school children in a life-enhancing, fun, and exciting way. These 60-minute classes are open to students of all ages, and accommodate all levels of players from beginner to advanced.
To ensure the safety of our students, the Chess teacher escorts all children to the classroom following the last bell; and after class they are either escorted to the aftercare classrooms, or must be signed out by a pre-approved adult.
St. Bede has a very active Scout program for both boys and girls, for students from Kinder through 8th Grade.
Led by parent volunteers, the Scout programs are a wonderful way for children to stay active, build leadership skills, and get involved in charitable projects.
The St. Bede Dance/Movement Program is designed to improve students’ physical awareness, general fitness, flexibility and coordination through dance/movement. The classes are for both boys and girls who receive instruction in ballet, modern and jazz dance skills.
There is a recital in the spring.
