After School Programs
ESN offers after school programs that serve as an extension of the school’s mission. We endeavor to offer a variety of activities that align with the needs and interests of our diverse student population while continuing our dedication to nurturing the joy of learning and the spirit of discovery in each student. Each activity will have its own fees and scheduling. Please watch the ESN Weekly Blast for registration information.
For more details about an after school program, please contact the sponsoring faculty or staff member. For specific dates and times, please refer to the ESN After School Programs Calendar.
We would like all students who are interested to be able to participate in our after school programs. If the cost of an activity is prohibitive for your family, please contact the office for discussion about financial aid.
