Our After School Education and Safety (ASES) Programs are available at the elementary and middle school levels and are funded by the California Department of Education. The aim of an ASES program is to provide educational enrichment activities supplemental to our students' regular school learning.

Our offerings include a comprehensive after school program as well as catalog-based enrichment activities. All topics fall within the categories of Academics, Visual & Performing Arts, Health & Fitness, and Life Skills.
