After School Program
A Learning Experience that supports growth beyond the classroom.
CASL Education Center’s After School Program provides a safe, engaging, and supportive learning experience for students in kindergarten through high school. More than just after-school care, our program offers academic support, enrichment, and mentorship that help students build confidence, develop life skills, and feel connected to their community.
From elementary school through graduation, CASL partners with families to support students’ academic success, social-emotional growth, and future goals.
