ClubKAS strives to provide after school enrichment activities that encourage our students to try new things, develop their interests, and grow as human beings.

We offer small classes, a child-friendly environment, skilled teaching, and a challenging curriculum conveyed through both traditional and innovative methods.  KAS is a Let’s Move Champion School and has the only lunch program in the area that prepares and serves fresh and healthy lunches on site. KAS Clubs will be offered after school from 3:15pm to 5:30pm.
