Afterschool Program

Meet with other students to connect with your community, make friends and succeed academically!

Integrating into Canadian culture doesn’t end at the last school bell — give yourself a chance to develop outside of school hours from October to May. By participating in afterschool programs, you’ll make friends, improve your English language skills, get help with your homework and have an opportunity to grow in a safe, supportive space.

Through activities, field trips, guest speakers and community events, the Afterschool Program aims to create a sense of belonging and connect youth to their community.

Afterschool and lunch programs for students in grades 1–12 are offered at 34 schools and community centers throughout Calgary—check the map below for availability!
