Create the Ultimate Afternoon Bundle!

What's the difference between Discovery Clubs and After School with Right At School?

Discovery Clubs are subject-specific 1-hour Clubs that take place once per week after school. After School with Right At School is our daily after school program that runs from the end of the school day until early evening.

Can my child attend both Discovery Clubs and After School?

YES! In fact, we encourage both to create the ultimate in afternoon fun! Your child will attend our After School program at the end of the school day and then safely transition to their Discovery Club for an hour!

Can my child attend a Discovery Club without being enrolled in After School?

YES! While we encourage a fun-filled bundle, your child is welcome in Discovery Clubs or After School – or both!

Smash it! Dodge it! Step into the “pit” and play! GaGa Ball is the most popular game you’ve never heard of. This game is a fan favorite at almost every summer camp in the world. GaGa Ball is similar to dodgeball, but instead of an open, divided field throwing across at eachother, this game is played inside an octagon court where players “Bop” the ball off the ground and off the walls at each others legs! Coaches will discuss the safety and game rules at the beginning of each class. A rubber playground ball is used to keep the bouce alive! For player’s protection, the ball may only be bounced below the waist. Come be a part of the fun and games and really learn what it means to be on the edge of your seat and the tips of your toes! Join the game today!

Frequently Asked Questions About Discovery Clubs

What are Discovery Clubs ?

Discovery Clubs, formerly known as Elective programs, are typically one-hour per week, 10 to 12-week Clubs in the arts, music, foreign languages, sports, science, STEM, and more. Clubs vary by school and include courses taught by specialized community enrichment vendors.

My child is in a lower or higher grade than the class they want to sign up for. Can they register?

No. Our Discovery Partners develop the Clubs to serve their specific age range best and give the students the finest experience.

When is payment due?

Payment is due at the time of registration in full.

Why did a Club close registration?

All Clubs have minimum and maximum enrollment numbers. Once a Club reaches its maximum enrollment, the Club will be closed for further registration. Where available, families may join the waitlist.

Why is my Club canceled?

Clubs with low enrollment during the week before the start of the term will be canceled. Notification will be sent, and payment will be refunded within 7-10 business days.

What is your refund policy?

We allow one risk-free trial Club so that your child can determine if the class is a good fit. This is fair for both families and our Discovery Clubs partners. For a full refund, contact our Customer Support team within the program’s first week. A request must be submitted before the commencement of the second scheduled class.
