Avondale Campus The ICS After School Enrichment Program (ASEP) is an award-winning program that employs a diverse staff of educators who are dedicated to the development of young people. The program offers a safe and caring place where children can do homework and play with other children under the supervision of qualified staff. The program operates every school day with the exception of half-days. The program runs from 3:15 — 6:00 p.m. Children can be picked up anytime before 6 p.m. Late bus service, running at 5:00 p.m., is also offered.

Typical Schedule and Routine Activities Between 3:15 and 5:00 p.m., the children have a healthy snack, playtime and do homework in small, supervised groups. Kindergarten children typically rest during this time. All students participate in the Heritage Language and Cultures Program during which each grade group learns about different cultures and the basics of that culture’s language over a five-week period. Volunteer tutors, typically university or high school students, offer their time to help individual students in academic areas targeted by homeroom teachers. |
