Program Overview

The Maestro Stars Academy After School Enrichment Program for Kindergarten to 5th Grade students is a comprehensive, engaging program designed to complement and enhance your child’s daytime education, helping them become well-rounded “maestros” of their own success. This multidisciplinary program consists of a variety of classes offered in a nurturing and supportive environment and is built in the foundations of English Language Arts and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math). Students will take classes in English Language Arts, Creative Arts, Science, and Mathematics that will build upon age-appropriate educational foundations, challenge and further develop their skills, and expand their horizons through engaging, cross- and multidisciplinary activities.

In addition to the four core classes, the program offers multiple options for families to choose from to support students interests and desired skills development.
