Learning Community Charter School offers its students a wide variety of after school enrichment activities. The after school program is called Think Tank and is available daily from 3pm to 6 pm. The program provides homework help and offers a variety of clubs taught by parents and community members.
The year is divided into trimesters, and each session lasts 12 weeks. (Think Tank is also available for a small fee on a daily basis as needed and with advance notice.) There is a sliding fee scale for the sessions, so no students are left out of the program. Once a student is enrolled in Think Tank, there is no extra charge for clubs and activities. Snack is provided daily.
Click on the links to the right to view the available activities for a particular grade and/or day. The available activities currently posted are for the Fall Session, 9/8 - 12/5, 2008. Unless otherwise noted, clubs have an enrollment limit of 12. Clubs fill up quickly, and we make every effort to enroll students in the clubs they want. Students will attend Homework Helpers when they are not participating in a club.
