Palisades Episcopal School provides a multi-faceted Afterschool Program that is fun for children and flexible and convenient for parents. Designed to enhance each child’s emotional, intellectual, social, and physical development, our Afterschool program provides our students the opportunity to enjoy organized activities such as Art, Music, Reading, Drama and Physical Education, all in the context of play and recreation. Our weekly themes help build school spirit and teach team-work, and our in house learning experiences and field trips help enhance the learning experience for all of our students.
While many children are enrolled in the Afterschool Program because their parents work, others come on a drop-in basis. Whether your child wants to be with us every afternoon or be an occasional visitor, we are committed to providing a fun and enriching experience for all the children in our care. For more information, please contact our Afterschool Director at afterschool@pescharlotte.org.
