INTRODUCING VILLAGE GATE'S HEART PUMPING, BRAIN STIMULATING, BODY ENERGIZING, FUN MAXIMIZING  

AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM

WHEN SCHOOL ENDS, IT'S TIME TO EXERCISE! 

EXERCISE YOUR BODY 

Each afternoon begins with a cardio inducing activity to get these young bodies in motion. Our new Running Club gives participants a chance to set personal goals and log the distance they have covered. Find out how long it will take you to run from San Diego to San Francisco or beyond. From epic contests of Capture the Flag to wild matches of kickball, from Jump Rope Marathons to yoga sessions, the afternoon is filled with motivation to get that heart rate up. Countless studies have vindicated the dire need for physical activity for overall well-being, so let's get moving and keep moving!

 EXERCISE YOUR MIND

Sharpening chess skills, constructing models, crafting fiction; we want to help students find a focus and dive into it, deep! The After School Program allows students to pursue  intellectual interests and investigate their curiosities. By strongly encouraging and supporting  personal projects of each student's design and  choosing, we seek to guide and continue Village Gate's emphasis on intrinsic motivation and satisfaction in learning. There will also be tutoring for those wishing to use the time to work on homework or class projects.

EXERCISE YOUR IMAGINATION

Drama, Improv, Poetry, Script Writing, Filmmaking, Storytelling.  All the world is a stage, and we want to give each kid a chance at the spotlight. Whatever they can dream up, we want to help shape into something they can share.
