Innovate Students and Home Schoolers are welcome to join a club!

Our after school club program offers fun, collaborative environments for exploring passions beyond the school day. Students grow in a variety of skills like communication, virtues and leadership as they work with peers and mentors in areas of music, theater arts, film, STEM, gardening, sports, and more. We offer new options each season.

Below are current clubs, each with details and links to register.
