Aftercare
At St. Bernard Academy, our Aftercare program is designed to ensure an enriching, convenient, and successful after-school experience for students and parents.
Licensed through the Department of Education, students in Aftercare build community, engage in physical activities, and use their imaginations even after the final bell rings for the school day.

At Aftercare, we strive to provide a balance of structure and freedom in a way that allows students the opportunity to not only grow socially and emotionally, but also to gain in self-confidence and humility. All while having loads of fun in the process.
