Perelman After School Program - available on both campuses

The Perelman After School Program consists of the following parts: 

  • Tzaharon (Aftercare): Tzaharon provides a safe and nurturing screen-free environment for students to unwind, socialize, and engage in supervised activities after regular school hours. Tzaharon will offer homework assistance, games, arts and crafts, and other age-appropriate activities to keep students engaged and entertained until pick-up time, which can be as late as 6:00 PM on both campuses. Families have the option to enroll for specific days for the full trimester or drop-in option.
  • Chugim (Enrichment Activities): In addition to Tzaharon, we are excited to offer a variety of chugim that will provide students with opportunities to explore their interests, develop new skills, and have fun in a supportive and enriching environment. Chugim will be approximately one hour in length with the option to join Tzaharon afterwards until as late as 6:00 PM. There will be new chugim offerings every trimester.
