Enriching the mind, body, & spirit.
Academic Focus
Our curriculum is research-based, with a strong emphasis on literacy, mathematics, and science. Students receive guided support from experienced instructors, helping them develop the skills they need to succeed academically. Character education is also at the heart of our approach, ensuring that students not only grow intellectually but also build strong values and social skills.
Enrichment Opportunities
Beyond academics, students are encouraged to explore their creativity and teamwork through hands-on enrichment activities. Our programming includes STEM projects, art workshops, team-building exercises, and physical activities designed to engage and inspire.
Registration for School Year 2026-2027.
Priority Students
Preregistration for students who are performing below grade level, speak English as a second language, have an IEP/504 plan, and/or receive certain financial assistance will begin at noon on September 1.
Please use this form to preregister priority students beginning at noon on September 1. This form will not accept early submissions.
Open Registration
Beginning September 8 at noon, enrollment will be open for all students. At this time, the priority form will close and all applicants (including those who meet the priority criteria, returning students, and new students) should complete the open preregistration form if interested in enrolling in LINK After School.
As a reminder, preregistration reserves your place in line and is the first step in the LINK After School enrollment process. Students will be placed on classroom rosters based on available space. Once a classroom reaches capacity, additional students will be placed on a waitlist. If they are placed in a classroom, LINK staff will email the application to the parents/caregivers to complete. To be enrolled in program, students must have a completed application and have their parent or caregiver attend one of our mandatory family orientations.
Completing the application process.
After preregistration, families who are placed on the final roster will receive a link to complete the full application. To be complete enrollment, parents and caregivers are required to attend one Family Orientation session.
If placed on a roster in LINK After School, please plan to attend one of these family orientation sessions:
- Wednesday, September 23 at 6 p.m.
- Friday, September 25 at 3 p.m.
- Wednesday, September 30 at noon
