School Life

After-School Clubs

Carlthorp School offers an optional after school program that includes a variety of clubs, taught primarily by Carlthorp teachers, that allow students of all ages to have fun, play, and experiment with new extracurricular activities.

Most clubs end between 4:00 and 4:45 p.m. and Late Care is offered until 5:00 p.m.

A wide spectrum of programs have been offered over the past years. Clubs vary each trimester, but Homework Club, Theatre Ensemble, Chorus, and Orchestra are available year round.

In addition, as a service to parents, Late Care is provided free of charge.
