After School Program

Information and Guidelines

Welcome
Taught by vetted vendors and developed to provide educational and social creative fun for the students, the Cathedral School’s After School Program takes place live, in school or at approved offsite vendor locations.
 
General Information
The Fall term of the After School Program runs from Monday, September 8 – Friday, January 16, 2026.  Classes are held Mondays through Fridays, on regular full school days. Classes are NOT held on days when school is not in session.  Class fees vary depending on the number of class sessions, vendor costs and materials involved. Classes meet once a week, from 3:30-5:00 p.m. (See class descriptions for any details or exceptions.)

A healthy snack is provided before the start of all After School classes.  Please do not send snacks from home.

Registration
Registration for After School classes is available online only. Most classes require a minimum enrollment of five students to run and availability of a course depends on sufficient enrollment. If your child is particularly interested in a class that is full or may not be listed for their age group, please contact the After School Director and we will try to help.

There is a non-refundable one-time registration fee of $40 per semester. You will be billed by the Business Office for the tuition after the start of the term.

Enrollment is limited and classes are filled on a first-enrolled basis. Registration cannot be accepted without payment of the registration fee. Children are automatically enrolled in their chosen classes unless parents are otherwise notified by email.
 
Financial Aid
After School Program classes will be eligible for a 20% financial aid discount. Aid will be provided for one class per semester. There is no financial aid for private music or art lessons or for Homework Help.

To be eligible for aid, the family must have been awarded a financial aid discount for general tuition. Only the application submitted for general tuition aid is required. A separate TADS application for the ASP is not required. In addition, there must be no past due student billing invoices and the account must be current.

Please contact the Business Office with questions and for more information.
 
Refunds
The registration fee of $40 is non-refundable. We regret that, because of vendor commitments, there can be no refunds after the second class and you will be billed for the two classes attended if you choose not to continue enrollment. There are also no refunds for snow days or other emergency closures or for classes missed due to illness or required quarantine.
