Excel After School

YMCA Excel After School is a program serving students in Kindergarten through grade 5 Monday through Friday afternoons from school dismissal until 6 p.m.

Excel After School expands the school day through active, purposeful play and a curriculum that enriches students’ learning while helping them grow in spirit, mind and body. Students will receive help with their homework and participate in daily lessons and activities that align with national education standards and YMCA leading practices. Activities will be centered around the pillars of STEM, Career-Constructed Learning, Arts and Crafts, Literacy, Education, and Diversity and Global Learning.
