Why is Saint Bart's such a great place to be after school?
- Dynamic and engaging teachers and staff;
- Team-oriented environment;
- Small size, low student/staff ratio;
- Emphasis on homework completion.
In a nutshell
The House at Saint Bart's program hours of operation are from 3:00 pm to 6:30 pm Monday through Friday during the public school year when school is in session.
We accept students in grades 2-6. Our program limit is 24 students. Healthy snacks, including fruits and vegetables are served daily. We serve water, iced tea and juice.
How are we different than other programs?
We're small. We ensure kids have direct attention.
We hire only the best education students we can find.
Volunteers are vetted and trained.
The program is a homework assistance program in a small, collaborative environment, with some arts based activities. We promise to have other activities as well, depending on our resources. The church offers its space at no cost, inviting people to fund the program as they are able.
Interested students should be willing to complete their homework and have their tests reviewed by the teachers. Parents should have an internet connection to communicate with the staff.
