Schools understand that learning continues outside of the classroom. After-school activities at private schools are carefully selected to ensure students enjoy the many benefits they offer. For example, art projects enhance cognitive development and creative thinking, which is necessary to develop critical thinking skills. We offer several after-school activities to help your child continue to learn and have fun in a safe environment.
Athletics Programs
We offer various athletics programs, including karate, dance, gymnastics, and sports. Working with other children to create the ideal play on the field or on stage encourages communication and collaboration. Young students develop the gross motor skills their body needs, while physical activity keeps them healthy. Karate teaches self-discipline to promote emotional regulation and thinking before acting.
Foreign Language
Foreign language programs, such as Chinese and French, are standard in private schools because educators understand that learning a new language is easier when a student is younger. Foreign language development encourages cognitive development, unlocking the areas of the brain necessary for more critical thinking. These after-school activities encourage children to be inclusive as they learn about another culture.
Creative Opportunities
We understand that many love expressing their creativity or fine-tuning their skills. We offer several opportunities for children to ensure there is something for everyone. Creative writing activities help students learn more about writing and expressing themselves through the pen. Drama is another popular activity that encourages self-expression and creativity. Art may include various activities, such as painting or drawing. Craft classes often include fun fabric projects or sewing to help them learn a new skill and have fun. Creative expression encourages cognitive development while children learn new things.
Essential Technology
Technology has become an essential part of daily life, so many private schools offer technology classes or after-school activities to ensure they don’t fall behind the curve. We offer coding classes for various skill levels to help children learn how to code properly. The small size ensures every child can see if this is for them. We also offer Lego coding, robotics, game development, 3D printing, and more.
Private schools understand the importance of after-school activities. According to WebMD, students usually better understand the concept of time and the order of their day’s activities at 4–5 years old, making this a great time to enroll them in afterschool programs. Our activities change every trimester to ensure a steady rotation of opportunities for every interest. Contact Bellevue Children’s Academy today to learn more about our schedule.
