After School Program
After School Enrichment
A Constructive Alternative to Screen Time
At SDSS West Hartford, we recognize that the hours between school dismissal and dinner are a critical time for your child’s development. Our After School Program provides a safe, upscale, and constructive environment where students channel their energy into something beneficial.
Unlike traditional after-care which often functions as simple supervision, our program is an enrichment academy. Through daily martial arts training, students learn self-defense, develop discipline, and build a strong sense of community. Guided by our expert instructors, they undergo a transformative journey, becoming resilient and confident individuals who are ready to take on the challenges of the classroom and the playground.
