Excellence in Academics, Passion in our Work

At Equitas, our educators bring their full selves each day to create joyful school days for  outstanding school years.

Expanded Learning Opportunities

Equitas offers safe and comprehensive after-care programming at each Equitas school. Through multiple partnerships we are able to provides academic support and enrichment opportunities beyond the school day including: 

  • Music 

  • Robotics

  • Dance

  • Fitness

  • Science

  • Sports

Each club is led by caring and enthusiastic staff members who are committed to the wellbeing of each scholar. Scholars cycle through several enrichment clubs throughout the year which allows them to explore a variety of interests. Scholars also receive a full supper meal during the after school program, nourishing their bodies as well as their minds.

Our comprehensive enrichment programming is made possible through partnership with Arc,  our primary after-school provider, in addition other partners such as P.S. Arts, Mad Science, and Girls on the Run. Additional information is available about the Expanded Learning Opportunities Program.
