    • Dedicated homework time
    • Age-appropriate activities led by trained ACE counselors
    ACE is not a drop-in programpre-registration is required, and families may register on an annual, semester (Fall, Winter, or Spring), or monthly basis. Due to staffing and safety considerations, we do not offer daily or drop-in rates.
    All students enrolled in ACE must follow the rules and policies outlined in The Benjamin School Student-Parent Handbook.

  • What is Enrichment?

    What is Enrichment?

    As part of our ACE program, Enrichment classes offer students in WOW through Grade 5 the chance to explore new interests and develop skills in a fun, structured setting. Classes are offered in four sessions each year—two in the Fall and two in the Spring.
    Students in:
    • WOW–Kindergarten are escorted directly to class at dismissal.
    • Grades 1–5 are signed in by Aftercare staff, given a snack and time to begin homework, then escorted to class.
    There is no charge for aftercare before Enrichment classes. If your child needs care after Enrichment, ACE registration is required.
    Note: Students who miss all or part of the school day due to absence may not attend Enrichment that day.
    Registration and payment are completed online, and families will be notified when registration opens.

    Enrichment Pick-Up: IMPORTANT CHANGE The Aftercare Coordinator, associate, or club vendor will escort students to the designated dismissal area at Green Dot. Please remain in your vehicle during pick-up so we can load students safely. Be sure to review the Enrichment schedule for dismissal times and plan to pick up your child within 15 minutes of the activity’s end.
