There are also opportunities for older students to work on homework with adult support. Registration for this program is done on a monthly basis.
Each semester, FCS offers a diverse array of Afterschool Enrichment Activities for students in grades K through 8 in subjects ranging from Ultimate Frisbee to role-playing games. These activities operate on a weekly basis and are taught by FCS teachers and community members with available options shared with families early each semester.
