Afterschool Enrichment

Our After School Enrichment (ASE) program is an opportunity for kids to have new experiences, make new friends, and have fun! Launched and led entirely by PTA volunteers, ASE is committed to discovery, experimentation, and investigation. Many of our vendors are local to Montclair and our greater community; some vendors we have used in the past are Montclair Art Museum, Montclair Community Farms, Steam Urban, and Montclair Film Festival. 

There are 2-3 ASE sessions per school year – please look out for signup information via email. Classes are open for grades K-5, unless otherwise indicated. Please email us at enrichment@edgemontpta.org if you have any questions.  Got an idea for enrichment or have a skill you’d like to teach?  Let us know!

Schedule

Classes meet weekly at Edgemont School from 2:50pm-3:50pm. For students who regularly attend YMCA Aftercare, they will be dismissed from ASE to Aftercare. Class dates are subject to change; please refer to your weekly emails for updates. In the event of school closure due to inclement weather or instructor emergency/absence, a makeup date will be added and registered families will be notified via email. There will be no makeups for individual students due to absences or tardiness.

Registration

Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. As most classes fill up very quickly, we encourage you to review the registration site prior to the start of the registration period.

A student is not registered for a class until purchase of the class has been completed in our enrollment site and payment submitted. All classes are subject to cancellation due to under-enrollment, or other reasons as deemed necessary and at the discretion of the ASE team. We cannot guarantee or hold spaces in any class for anyone who has not registered and paid for a class in full.

  • Add/Drop – Add/drop are allowed during registration period. When registration closes, there will be no refunds for dropping.
  • Costs – Tuition per class varies. The registration website contains schedule and price details for the current session. All class materials are provided at no additional charge.

Scholarships

The PTA is committed to sponsoring an ASE class for anyone in need of a scholarship. There is a limit of one free class per child per session. Please email enrichment@edgemontpta.org to request a scholarship. To have the best chance of getting into the class of your choice, scholarship requests should be submitted before registration opens.
