During the School Year:
In addition to a weekday summer camp program, Anderson After School provides after-school care in Anderson, South Carolina for children ages 4 to 14. During the school year, we accommodate all students from Anderson County School District Five. We also provide care to students from many other schools in the area, including but not limited to: St. Joseph's Catholic (Anderson campus), Montessori, Mt. Lebanon Elementary, Palmetto Elementary, Spearman Elementary, and La France Elementary. We always add schools whenever there is a need which we can accommodate.
A nutritious, substantial snack is provided along with homework assistance. Indoor activities and outdoor activities are both available to all of our students, after homework is completed, unless parents prefer that homework be done at home. Kathleen Beard, the director of Anderson After School, has over two decades worth of network connections with educators throughout Anderson county. Through Ms. Beard’s connections, Anderson After School can also make accommodations for individual tutoring. If preferred, tutors can be commissioned by parents, and we simply provide a quiet space.
Additionally, we can provide transportation to extra-curricular activities, such as music/dance lessons and sports practice. There is an extra charge for this service, and not all requests can be accommodated.
On a school day, our hours of operation are 2:00PM - 6:00PM. On teacher work-days, and most holidays, we are open from 7:00AM - 6:00PM. We are closed on Memorial Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, the Friday after Thanksgiving, and the week between Christmas and New Years. With only a few rare exceptions involving extreme severe weather, parents can bring students to Anderson After School when schools are not in session due to inclement weather.
