What to Expect from Our Afterschool Program
After school, students are picked up from one of our local schools by our dedicated afterschool bus and transported to our martial arts school, located at 150 Howe Hall Road. Upon arrival, students are provided with a snack, and they can settle into a quiet classroom space for homework assistance. Our staff is available to support students with their homework to ensure they stay on track.
Once homework is complete, students have the opportunity to enjoy a variety of activities. We offer a spacious outdoor play yard with several covered areas, a basketball court, and a variety of outdoor games for active play. Inside, students can explore different activity rooms where they can engage in free play, STEM projects, crafts, and a range of fun games.
Our program is designed to provide a balanced mix of academic support, physical activity, and creative play, ensuring students have a well-rounded and enjoyable afterschool experience.
What to Expect from Our Evening Program
We begin each class by reciting our Student Creed and the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by personal warm-ups and stretching. Next, we move into a stretching routine and warm-up laps around the karate floor. During this time, we’ll also discuss the class’s focus, objectives, and key concepts for the evening.
After our warm-up, we transition into instruction. Once the lesson is complete, we focus on bodyweight strength training. To wrap up, we come together for a group discussion, reviewing everything we’ve learned. For a fun and engaging finish, we reward the students with a game of dodgeball, which not only helps improve coordination but also adds an enjoyable way to end the class.
