Enrichment and Aftercare at CDS

CDS offers comprehensive aftercare and enrichment programs designed to engage students beyond the classroom. Every Wednesday morning for Power Hour, our  faculty and staff dedicate the first hour to curriculum development, continuing education, and other professional growth opportunities. Meanwhile, students can enjoy an extra hour of sleep, spend quality time with family over breakfast, or maintain their usual schedule by coming to school early for study halls, before-care services, or engaging in morning auxiliary programs. Beyond academics, students can explore a variety of enriching activities that nurture creativity, curiosity, and skills development.

Examples of after-school enrichment programs include art classes, coding and robotics, musical theatre, dance, martial arts, sports clinics, and language classes. These programs are tailored to cater to diverse interests and help students discover their passions in a safe, nurturing environment.

Power Hour

Power Hour opportunities are available for students who need to be dropped off early on Wednesdays. In addition to morning care, students at the Early Childhood Campus can enjoy structured play, while Elementary students can engage in enrichments like chess and Pokémon games. Middle and Upper School students use study halls to get a jumpstart on their work and stay ahead in their studies. These activities provide a great balance of fun and productivity before the school day begins. Study Hall and beforecare are free to all CDS families.
