The AfterSchool Program is the heart of Green Street. Students in Grades 1-8 foster creativity and build problem solving skills in an environment with strong role models. Our interdisciplinary approach allows for a wide range of class options in art, math, and science.
The 2014 Fall Semester runs from September 8th – December 5th. Elementary School students can be here from 4:15-5:45pm (5:15 on Fridays) and Middle School Students can be here from 3:15-5:45pm (5:15 on Fridays).
Call us this week to set up a registration appointment for your child, 860-685-7871.
Here is the list of Fall 2014 classes. We have added in video links of class performances and projects from prior semesters to give you a better idea of what our students learn in AfterSchool. If a picture is worth 1,000 words then a video must be priceless. Call us for more details on schedules and fees. We offer tuition discounts for Wesleyan faculty and staff, and for families who qualify for free or reduced lunch.

AfterSchool Tuition Costs
*$25 non-refundable deposit due at registration.
**There is an additional $5 fee for each half day (no discounts).
Tuition below reflects the cost of a single day’s options for one full semester. Parents can choose to enroll a child for 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 days per week. If your child attends both Class and Homework, both fees apply.
Elementary School (Grades 1-5)
$150 per each one hour-long Class for entire semester
$75 per each 30 minute-long Homework session for entire semester
$225 per each day of full-time programming (Class + Homework)
If your child will attend multiple days per week, multiply the above Class and Homework fees by that number of days. For example, tuition for a full-time elementary student (Class + Homework) who attends 5 days per week would be: $1,050 (4x $225 for M-TH + $150 for Fri., when there is no homework session)
Middle School (Grades 6-8)
$150 per each one hour-long Class for entire semester
$300 per each 2 hour-long afternoon of Class/Classes for entire semester
$75 per each 30 minute-long Homework session for entire semester
$375 per each day of full-time programming (2 hours of Class + Homework)
If your child will attend multiple days per week, multiply the above Class and Homework fees by that number of days. For example, tuition for a full-time middle school student (Class + Homework) who attends 5 days per week would be: $1,800 (4x $375 for M-TH + $300 for Fri., when there is no homework session)
