After School Program
After School at North Side
At North Side Community School, learning doesn’t stop when the final bell rings.
Our After-School Program gives students a structured, engaging environment where they can complete homework, explore new interests, build friendships, and continue developing the skills that prepare them for long-term success.
These hours are an extension of our mission — supporting the whole child academically, socially, and emotionally.
A Program That Builds Possibility
Strong after-school programming strengthens academic outcomes, deepens engagement, and reinforces the habits that lead to long-term success.
At North Side Community School, we see these hours as an opportunity — a time to expand learning, build confidence, and nurture future leaders.
