Before & After School Clubs

Our before and after school club offerings reflect the unique interests of our students and faculty.

From Art Club offered by a beloved to PWS teacher to Theater and Parkour Clubs offered through partnerships with sister non-profits, we work to bring dynamic and meaningful activities to our students before and after school.

Because our clubs are based on the spark of enthusiasm in our community, clubs change seasonally and evolve based on interest and availability. We consider clubs an integral part of our school, resulting in performances and showcases of artistic expression. Our academic clubs also reflect the students’ investment in furthering their skills in a given subject. Clubs are open to PWS families only. Many teachers will extend their club offering to our Summer Camps, which are additionally open to the public. Check the Camps page to learn more.
