After Care & Enrichment
ACE at SCh
After Care & Enrichment (ACE) is SCH's after-school program for Pre-K through 5th grade students, offering a safe, enriching environment Monday through Friday after school until 6:00 PM. Located in the McCausland Lower School, adjacent to the Wissahickon Woods, ACE provides students with opportunities to learn, play, and connect beyond the school day. Contact ACE Director Sarah Damiano with any questions at ace@sch.org or 215-267-6826.
After Care Programming
All ACE offerings are supported by SCH best practices and executed with alignment to our core values: Integrity, Courage, Diversity, Thoughtfulness & Resilience.
ACE is a coed program and students will participate in outdoor activities this academic year utilizing SCH’s many, unique open-air spaces (weather dependent). SCH's after care provides a safe place for students in grades Pre-K to 5 to play with friends, recess games, craft, or get a head start on their homework.
- ACE runs from 3:30-6:00 PM in the Lower School building from the first day of school through the last day of classes (September to June).
- The below rates are for the full 2024-2025 academic year.
Enrichment Courses
Our enrichment courses for Pre-K to grade 5 students offer various engaging and academically stimulating activities that promote positive student development. These activities cover a range of subjects for different grade levels including STEM (i.e. FIRST LEGO® League, gardening, chess), arts & crafts (i.e. sewing, song-writing, cooking), recreational fun (i.e. yoga, squash, big shots) and more. Enrichments are offered seasonally, three times a year—fall, winter, and spring. Enrichments are scheduled extracurriculars where students can receive advanced academic instruction, enhance a passion, or discover new hobbies, interests, and activities outside the classroom setting.
- Rates vary depending on the number of weeks (see a sampling of rates below).
- Most enrichment courses run from 3:45-4:45 PM. There is no charge for after care before your student's program starts.
Enrichment classes are offered, but not guaranteed depending on enrollment/popularity/space.
