Imagine a classroom buzzing with excitement as young actors play a warm-up game using expressive facial movements or a group of budding mathematicians problem-solve math games with magic tricks and circus stunts. In the MICDS Lower School, after-school enrichment opportunities are a haven for creativity, exploration, and fun.
As the school day winds down, our youngest learners dive into a world of endless possibilities. From honing their athletic skills on the field to delving into the mysteries of science in the lab, the enrichment courses offer a unique opportunity for students to discover new passions and develop valuable life skills.
A variety of enrichment options like coding robots and learning to play the piano fosters academic growth and social and emotional development. Students make new friends, build confidence, and understand the importance of teamwork.

Director of Extended Day Matt Blair emphasizes the significance of enrichment in a child’s education. “Enrichment courses allow students to explore their interests outside the regular classroom routine, try something new, and simply have fun. It’s a rewarding after-school experience that complements their day in the classroom.”
So, whether your child is a budding artist or simply a curious explorer, Lower School enrichment courses offer something for everyone. It’s a place where imagination takes flight, creativity flourishes, and lifelong memories are made!
