After School Programs

A variety of enrichment programs are available for Preschool students through JA After School. Having dance, computer, basketball, tennis, TaeKwonDo, gymnastics, and drama offered on campus is a great benefit for parents and students, says Hope Burford, assistant director of After School. Drama Kids is a recent offering that is currently enrolling students.

“Our programs, offered by qualified vendors, give students a chance for enrichment while they are on campus. After pick-up, families can go straight home without another activity and have more family time because the student has already had his or her outside activity. So many parents have thanked us for this,” says Burford.

The opportunity to try new things is also a benefit to young learners. “These classes expose students to a variety of activities so they can see what they like and may want to pursue as they grow older,” says Burford. “Some of our students have, in later years, developed advanced skills, such as in dance or Taekwondo, after starting a program in Preschool.”

Programs available by grade level include the following:

  • K3: dance, computer, and basketball
  • PK: dance, computer, basketball, tennis, gymnastics, and TaeKwonDo
  • K: dance, computer, basketball, tennis, gymnastics, TaeKwonDo, and Drama Kids

The newest program offered for Kindergarten is Drama Kids, which is enrolling now for the spring semester. Students can be in the cast of a spring performance.

Book Buddies Conduct First Interview

First graders met their sixth-grade Book Buddy for the first time on November 1. The annual JA program pairs an older and younger student for a year-long friendship.  Book Buddies is one of JA's many intentional occasions for students across grades to learn from one another. The program also helps students develop a love of books, honoring JA's founding principle that emphasizes the vital role of reading. Sixth graders interview the first grader and, throughout the semester, write and illustrate a book about the first grader. At the end of the year, the completed bound book is presented by the sixth graders to first graders.  At first meeting, buddies work together to develop a special handshake in order to help break the ice. "Aside from the academic benefits for sixth graders working on writing and editing skills and for first graders practicing reading fluency, forming relationships is the best part of the Book Buddies program. It is a wonderful tradition," said Lower School Librarian Lynn Watson. Teachers prepare first graders for what to expect during the initial interview. They guide the young students on how to answer questions, advising them to avoid saying "I don't know," speak up so they can be heard, and let their sixth-grade buddy know what they are really like so that the book truly represents them. Another way teachers prepare first graders is by teaching them about the creation of books. First graders write their first short story in January, illustrate it, and study fiction
