Extended Care & After-School Enrichment ProgramÂ
Lower & Middle School After-School Enrichment Program
The school provides after-school enrichment classes throughout the week. Parents can sign up for these in the first two weeks of school. The fees may be different for each club or class. Some fees are paid directly to the vendor for the class. Typically, most clubs or classes start at 3:45 p.m. and finish by 4:45 p.m. Children who are not picked up on time are signed in to extended care.
The following are some of the after-school offerings at the Middle School:
- Debate Team – Joining the Debate Team will offer the students a great opportunity to develop and practice public speaking and debate skills. The school is part of the Rancho California Debate League for students in independent schools, which provides opportunities for training and competitions in the San Gabriel Valley. All debate competitions take place on Saturdays.
- Farm-to-Table Class – In partnership with Urban Homesteaders, students will learn about growing and cooking their own food by participating in activities on the MS campus as well as at the Urban Homestead next door.
- Team Sports – Students will join the New Horizon Nighthawks team and compete against other independent schools that are part of the Foothills League. Fall (flag football for boys, volleyball for girls), winter (basketball), and spring (soccer) sports are offered. Games will be scheduled on a weekly basis.
- Math Counts – National Math Club This club gives students a chance to explore math in a fun, hands-on way through games, problem-solving, and creative challenges. Using free resources from MATHCOUNTS, students will work together on engaging activities that build confidence and critical thinking skills. Clubs that meet regularly can earn prizes and national recognition through Silver and Gold Level achievements.
