1st-8th Grades
Registration for the 2022-2023 is currently closed. Please add yourself to the waitlist. And check out our Youth Workshops!
1st-5th Arts Afterschool at Maud Morgan Arts
In an effort to make our arts programming more accessible for families who rely on us for childcare, our arts programming revamped the structure of our program.
Each day our instructors meet with groups of 1st-2nd, 3rd-5th, and 5-8th graders. The groups will rotate through different mediums every 6-7 weeks. Currently our medias are ceramic, printmaking, fine art, theatre/dance and mixed media (a little bit of everything)!
Timeline Of our Day
Students start arriving into our art center space at the end of their school day. Kelsey, our Site Director greets students and families during drop off and assist in transitioning into our afternoon of art making. Students have a snack, which flows into recess break (outside if weather permits), until 3:30pm when art classes begin. Students then spend the afternoon making art with their peers, until 5:30 when parent pick up begins.

6th-8th Grade Arts Afterschool at Maud Morgan Arts
Youth will rotate through mediums every 6-7 weeks. For example, a student enrolled in a day of Arts Afterschool would get a mix of ceramics, printmaking, drawing, painting, and mixed media, over the course of the year.
The program will take place in the studios at Maud Morgan, and the group will have a maximum of 10 students/day. Arts instruction will take place from 3:30-5:30 pm, but students may arrive anytime after 2pm to participate in snack and recess (transition times are alongside our 1st-5th graders).
Our 6-8th grade students can walk to the program, take a bus to the Baldwin School and walk themselves to the art center, or get dropped off. We will take attendance as youth arrive, and call families if we are expecting a student and they don’t arrive, but we do not meet buses and supervise the walk down to the art center for this age group.

Starting in 2022 we will introduce our Junior Artist Leadership (JAL) program to our 5-8th grade students. The day students are enrolled in our program they have option of participating in the JAL program. As we hope this facet of our program sets the stage for students to practice self advocation, leadership among peers, creative decision making with their instructors, and encourage confidence in creativity. The length of the JAL program coincides with each session (6-7 weeks), students have the option of opting out at any time. At the end of each completed session, we’ll host an awards ceremony celebrating their leadership within their art community.
6-8th Grade | Enrollment Options
6-8th grade enrollment is a school year commitment, however, we recognize that for this age group, there are a variety of afterschool enrichment activities that take place over the course of the year. Therefore, we have broken the school year into three periods, and families will have the opportunity to adjust their schedule at those times without the penalty of losing the June deposit.
