AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM
The After School Program (ASES) at La Cumbre is designed to meet students’ needs and interests and has been extremely popular with our families. We offer a varied selection of enrichment opportunities and are flexible about student choices. Junior high students love to explore and may want to try cooking one week and science club the next, and that’s just fine! In addition, the Santa Barbara Parks & Recreation Department provides seasonal sports and games against other junior high schools. Classes change regularly as new opportunities and interests arise, but here are some current possibilities:
- Tutoring
- Cooking
- Weight Training
- Science Club
- MESA (Math, Engineering, Science Achievement)
- Soccer
- Basketball
- Drama
- Japanese
- Pre-Health Academy
- Computer Lab
- Photography
- Low Rider Bike Design and Construction
The After School Program is funded through a grant from the California Department of Education and is free and open to all students, regardless of income. Students must attend a minimum of three afternoons a week but may stay four or five afternoons a week, too. Participants begin the program after their 6th or 7th period class and then are released between 5:30 and 6 p.m. If a student is behind in homework or having academic difficulty, then tutoring and homework help will be mandatory. Please stop by the La Cumbre office for further information, to see the current class schedule, and to sign up.
