On our longer breaks we offer fun and exciting programming for a nominal fee. The focus is a theme-based hands on approach. Families can choose to participate in just the programming during the school day, but we have before and after care available as well.
Any Karen Acres student K-5th grade is eligible to sign up for Intersession.
