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.
