Right at School provides after school programming to 3-K through 5th grades.

The Right At School after school program runs from the time the school bell rings until 6 p.m. Parents can work with Right At School to create their own monthly schedules choosing 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 days per week. Drop-in care is also an option. This allows parents to pay only for the days for which care is needed. Right at School also offers a 15% sibling discount, as well as other discounts and subsidies

Every day students will have a healthy snack, engage in dynamic fitness activities, student-driven projects, team building, leadership development, and have the opportunity to complete homework. Right at School also features an enriched curriculum in the form of two-week units. Examples of units include: Getting Down to Business, where students are introduced to money and commerce; Icky Experiments, where students experiment with sticky substances to learn chemistry; and Variety Show, where students rehearse and perform individual talent acts.
