“We Did Everything”

See what an afternoon looks like and experience the joy of learning, playing, and growing with Right At School.

A Quick Look At Our Programs

Every day at Right At School is a chance to learn, play and grow. Safe and on-site at your school, in a place full of caring educators, new and best friends, and heaps of fun!

Homework Time

We keep homework stress where it belongs — with us. Our educators group kids into age-appropriate homework pods and help everyone complete assignments on time.

Over 180 Disguised Learning™Activities

Kids enjoy a variety of Disguised Learning activities every day, exploring math & science, reading & writing, nature & outdoor learning, creative & performing arts, and community service.

Self-Directed Learning

We give kids a chance to focus on their own interests, whether that means quietly reading a great book or joining friends to design a feat of engineering!

The Right Moves™ Fitness Blast

We do a fun ‘fitness blast’ every day—moving & shaking, doing stretches, or enjoying quick team games that deliver laughs, smiles and high-fives.

Games & Sports

Indoors and outdoors, our games and sports feel just right for all skill levels. From the basics (kickball, volleyball… you know the drill!) to some wild and crazy games developed in our top secret movement lab, we make sure kids have fun and enjoy the feeling of being on the team!

Social-Emotional Learning & Fun

Our childhood experts carefully design social activities that encourage kids to find the best in themselves and others. From character-building to diverse cultural experiences, kids of all ages come home from Right At School with bigger smiles, new friends, and a real feeling of growth.

Town Hall & Junior Educators™

Being a Right At School Junior Educator is a unique opportunity to grow. Every day, our Junior Educators lead the Town Hall session, choose activities, and develop leadership skills by helping to coordinate the day’s learning, play, and growth activities.

Right At School Gives Back

There’s no better opportunity to grow as a member of the local community than getting out and serving others. Our annual Right At School Gives Back program lets kids work together on service projects that support their neighbors and community.

Every year, kids who participate in Right At School Gives Back gain a big sense of community pride.

Parents Love After School with Right At School

My son will actually wake up early and ask to go in early and gets upset if I try to pick him up early. The staff is simply amazing and every week he is coming home with amazing art. Couldn’t ask for better!

— Nisha G

Our daughter is new to Audubon this year and the one aspect of her transition that's been super smooth is her time at Right at School. The team is great, polite, nice to chat with, and most importantly...they care about the kids' safety and well-being.

— Rahul N.

My son loves RAS and never wants to leave. The socialization is great in this time of playdates and no free play. It encourages independence and friendship.

— Nicole L.

They make a point to have engaging activities to keep the children motivated and involved. I also enjoy the convenience of having the program at my child’s school.

— Briana B.

I love everyone who is there for my children in the before and after school programs. They are understanding, caring, and I trust them. I love that my kids are happy and enjoying their time after school.
