Youth Enrichment

Involve your child in engaging after-school classes and activities that range from arts to technology, sports, driver's education and more!

Youth Enrichment classes and programs are an excellent way to engage your child after school, in the evening or on the weekend. Most classes are held after school in district buildings for elementary and middle school students and include: arts & crafts, chess, coding, engineering, game design, languages, music lessons, parent & child classes, robotics, sports of all sorts, technology, theater and more! In addition, we offer annual events such as the Once Upon a Time Dance and District 279 Chess Tournament. For opportunities at your school, please watch for flyers posted through Peachjar.
