After School Program

After School Program

World Upside Down nonprofit partners with us to deliver our after school program. Our after school program runs Monday through Friday from 3:00pm – 6:00pm. We offer families a childcare track and an arts education track. Students can attend one day a week and up to five days a week. We provide transportation to as many schools as we can based on need and demand. 

Arts Education Track

Students in our arts education track can take classes in music, visual arts, dance, and/or theater. Students choose their preferred artistic track and parents commit to making sure their students attend the related art classes each week so that students can be ready to perform with excellence in their showcase. Students perform in showcases every eight weeks so they share what they are learning with friends and family. Showcases are free events which are open to the public.

Parents can sign their students up for one day a week and up to five days a week. Pricing varies for a 1-3 day schedule and a 4-5 day schedule. 

We follow the Greenville County Public School schedule for holidays and vacations. We provide transportation every day that the Greenville County Public School system is open for a full day. We are closed on teacher work days and can pick up early on half days at parents' request based on overall demand.

Arts classes in music, visual arts, dance, and theater are held from 3:30pm-5:30pm Monday - Thursday. Classes are 45-minutes in length. The fall 2024/25 schedule will be released soon.

We assist students with homework from 5:00pm-6:00pm. Homework support is provided in a group setting, not a one-on-one tutoring session. Parents should make homework assistance requests clear when starting the program.

Students in our arts education track perform in showcases for parents every eight weeks. Students must attend the arts classes to participate in the showcase.

We are currently providing transportation for Bells Crossing Elementary, Green Charter Elementary, Greenville Classical Academy, Mauldin Elementary, Oakview Elementary, Pelham Road Elementary, Sarah Collins Elementary, Bethel Elementary, and Mauldin Middle School. If you have a transportation request, please email: info@worldupsidedown.org

We require a minimum of three children to pick up at a school.

Due to a high volume of students with allergies, we do not provide snacks for students nor do we permit food sharing among students.

Most of our after school students are in elementary school, but we can provide classes for middle school students as well.

Parents who enroll their students in the after school program commit to making monthly payments before the 1st of each month for the entire school year. We can prorate as needed for late starters. Click here for details on Tuition fees.

All tuition fees are due before students can start. After the first invoices have been paid (for application, supplies, and first month of tuition), payments must be made monthly before the 1st of each month.

Monthly payments are charged for four weeks of tuition. December and March are prorated to three weeks in alignment with the Greenville County Public School holiday schedule.
