After-School Enrichment Program

The After-School Program is offered at a time when many students would otherwise be home alone while parents are at work. At Inspiring Minds, students can work in a happy, safe and structured environment that includes personalized tutoring, workshops, and the encouragement they need to become the next generation of leaders.

Summer Enrichment Program

Summer programming includes a combination of fun activities focused on academics, sports, health and new experiences. Students retain knowledge they would typically lose during the summer off from school, and they’re in a safe environment surrounded by positive role models that can lead them to a promising future.
