About Our Program
Afterschool at LREI is a celebration of play, creativity and learning outside of the classroom setting. As a division of the school, Afterschool enriches the LREI experience by providing opportunities for students to learn skills for creative expression, work together in mixed age groups, regroup after the school day, and benefit from the input of guest artists and specialized teachers.

Afterschool includes three types of programs for students, so they can choose days and activities that suit their interests. All three programs are structured and led by experienced teachers.

Core Afterschool is divided into two groups according to age Monday through Thursday, and combines all ages on Friday. The Reds group includes Fours-First Grade and the Blues group includes Second-Sixth Grade. Core Afterschool follows a weekly schedule of featured activities from 2:45/3:00 to 6:00 PM, which can be viewed on the registration form. Registration is by day of the week per session, and dropping in to the program is available with advance notice and payment to the office. For a more detailed description of the daily Core schedule, please see the Core and Enrichment Class Descriptions.

The Enrichment Program encompasses a variety of specialized classes, which give children the opportunity to focus on an athletic, creative or academic discipline over the course of a session. Classes meet once per week, and are geared toward specific age groups. Participation in Core Afterschool before and after an Enrichment class is free of charge. See Enrichment class descriptions and faculty bios for more information.

Instrumental Lessons include weekly one-on-one instruction for voice, piano, drums, guitar, recorder, clarinet, and flute. Core Afterschool before and after a lesson is free of charge. See the Instrumental Program information page to view teacher and instrument availability.
