Program Overview
The Academy's Curriculum
Our before- and after-school program turns K–6 downtime into hands-on learning time. Kids finish homework, then dive into activities built around weekly themes—one week might feature “Space Explorers,” the next “Community Helpers.” Each day blends:
- STEM challenges that get little engineers thinking.
- Language and literacy games that build vocabulary and confidence.
- Math moments woven into cooking, budgeting, or board-game play.
- Art and music projects that stretch creativity.
- Community-building circles that teach empathy, teamwork, and leadership.
The result is a well-rounded experience where curiosity, cooperation, and problem-solving flourish—setting children up for a lifetime of learning and leading.
Tuition & Billing
Tuition & Billing Made Simple
We spread the cost of before and after-care evenly across the school year, so you always know what to expect.
- How it works
- We start with the full annual tuition for 180 school days.
- That amount is divided by 10 (the number of billing months).
- You’re billed the same figure each month—no surprises, even if a given month has fewer school days.
Whether the calendar shows 20 class days or only 10, your payment stays identical. This flat-rate approach makes it easier to budget from August through May.

Prorated Tuition
We understand that every family’s situation is unique, so we offer prorated tuition for new enrollments. This way, you only pay for the days your child actually attends. The only upfront cost is the registration fee, ensuring a simple and straightforward start to your child’s enrollment.
Payment Schedule
Tuition is due on the first of every month. We strive to make the billing process as smooth as possible, so you can focus on your child’s growth and development. If you have any questions about payment options or schedules, we’re here to help.
School Breaks and Early Release Days
Please note that non-school days, such as breaks, are not included in the monthly tuition. Early Release days are also not included into the tuition, as they require additional hours of care. These school break programs are additional services provided by The Academy, which is why they have separate fees.
