  • Beyond the Classroom

From science and technology to cooking and art, students will find many enrichment opportunities through our after-school Panther Enrichment Program.

Fall 2019

We are excited about our Fall 2019 Panther Enrichment Programs (P.E.P.). Take some time to explore the weekly class schedule and more info regarding each class below. Information on each class can also be found on The Independent School website in Parent Portal/NetCommunity. Registration will be completed online through Parent Portal.

Lower School students will be picked up from the gym after school to go to class. Please send them with a snack if they usually have one after school. Do not send any foods containing peanut or tree nut ingredients. Students will need to be picked up either under the bell after class or registered to attend Panther Care. Just a reminder that if school is not in session, there will be no after school class that day.
