After-School Enrichment Programs

Lake Washington Girls Middle School believes that the arts, athletics, service, and other enrichment opportunities are essential to a well-rounded school experience. Students participate in school-day enrichment classes, and also have the opportunity to participate in after-school enrichment classes, and receive academic support using the ARC (After-School Resource Center) Program. Enrichment programs offer service learning, social and emotional learning, and leadership opportunities for students. During the school year our After School Enrichment (ASE) program will be offered from 3:15 PM to 5pm on various days between Monday-Thursday.

Academic Resource Center (ARC)

The Academic Resource Center is an intentional space for students to be in after school to work on homework and meet with teachers for extra support. An ARC Coordinator spends the afternoon with students helping them plan and organize their work and supporting their academic needs. Students may make arrangements to meet with particular teachers or may work independently and may attend on a regular schedule or may drop in as needed. ARC is included in tuition; there is no additional charge. The ARC Program runs from 3:15 to 5 PM, Monday Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. There is no ARC on Fridays.

After-School Enrichment Classes (ASE)

After-school enrichment classes allow students to continue to explore areas of interest like music and arts, specialized athletic activities, STEAM, and more. Enrichment classes change each trimester based on the interests of our students and the expertise and availability of our faculty members and partners. This means that students have a wide array of classes to choose from, and explore multiple interests. It also means that students can participate in an athletic program one trimester, and then take an enrichment class of their interest during another trimester. We believe that offering both enrichment classes and athletic programs, allows student choice and supports well-rounded learning. Questions about our ASE Program? Email [email protected].
