After School Program

Learning Doesn't End When the School Day Does.

Our After School Program (ASP) extends the spirit of Santa Barbara Charter School beyond the classroom, providing children with a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where they can continue to learn, create, explore, and connect.

Whether building forts, making art, playing games, or simply enjoying time with friends outdoors, students are encouraged to follow their curiosity while being supported by caring adults who know them well.

Enrollment is available throughout the school year.

A Place to Grow

Our After School Program is designed to support the whole child through a balance of structure, creativity, movement, and free play.

Every afternoon offers opportunities for children to:

  • Explore art and creative expression

  • Enjoy outdoor play and nature-based activities

  • Build friendships and social skills

  • Participate in sports and enrichment programs

  • Share a healthy daily snack

Learning continues through play, exploration, and meaningful relationships.

Learning continues through curiosity, creativity, and connection.
