After School Enrichment

Washington Academy's After School Enrichment Program provides fun, structured activities between 3:00 and 5:30 PM for all residential students. Each quarter, students sign up for the programs that interest them the most. Once a month, the entire Residential Life community gathers for Color Games.

Students often learn a new skill in these classes, such as Latin dancing or how to play the dulcimer. Some involve volunteering in the community or even cheering on the school's athletic teams. All provide a fun way to unwind after school, make new friends, and stay productive through the afternoon.

In addition to their participation in these classes, students document what they learned through their choice of a journal or presentation- giving them more opportunities to practice their all-important English skills.

In addition to study hours in the evening, students can choose one day a week to study in the afternoon and can also do community service.
