Athenaeum After-School Program
What is ‘Athenaeum’? The word Athenaeum (ath-uh-nay-uhm) comes from the school in Rome, founded by Emperor Hadrian in 133 A.D., that was designed to promote literacy and scientific studies.
At Great Hearts Lake Charles, the Athenaeum After-School Program is a comprehensive program that has the same culture and educational focus as our academy. Each day, students are provided with dedicated homework time in addition to a variety of culturally enriching, hands-on activities in a safe and supportive after-school setting. Athenaeum scholars also enjoy time for recreation, games, socializing, and just plain fun! Athenaeum is open to Grades K-3 and is available daily from the dismissal bell (even on early release and half days) until 6:00 PM.
| Option | Price per scholar per month |

| B: 3 Days per week until 6:00 PM | $175/month |
