Elementary After School Classes

We support individual creativity while teaching structured lessons in skill and techniques.
How do we learn through and arts education?

Choices Form: Students Need To Sign Up For Each Session Elementary Students arrive to Mariah between 3:30-3:45pm, we will offer after school snack until 3:55pm; this allows students enough time to eat snack and socialize. All of our after school classes will begin at 4:00 and end at 5:30pm. Mariah is a teaching facility and we would appreciate that after school elementary students are not picked up until 5:30. It is in your child's best interest to have a complete lesson and to participate in the class community clean up. Teachers are requested to finish lessons by 5:15 and clean up till 5:30. At 5:30 the art lessons are completed and students will be ready to leave. We hope parents and students will not want to miss any part of the learning process. Please know if you plan to arrive before 5:30, you may need to wait for your child to clean up.
