Afterschool Program
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.
Through activities, field trips, guest speakers, and community events, our after-school programs connect youth to their community. In our after-school programs, students will:
- Improve their English language skills
- Make lasting friendships
- Get help with homework
- Grow in a safe and supportive space
Programs are available for students in grades 1-12 and are offered at 34 schools and community centres throughout Calgary.
