Out of School Time Activities

Opportunities Beyond the Classroom

Why OST at Girard?

Out of School Time programs play a crucial role in enriching the educational experience for students beyond regular school hours into the residential time. These programs offer a diverse range of activities and opportunities that go beyond academic subjects,  by fostering holistic development and preparing all students for future careers. Whether it’s engaging in arts programs, participating in a youth leadership program, exploring STEM activities, or receiving additional academic support, after school programs cater to various interests and learning styles of our students. Our programs provide a structured and supervised environment, promoting social skills, teamwork, character development, and preparation for the future.
