After School

Expanding horizons in culture and art

Children possess boundless energy and curiosity. CAIS’ After-School program puts them to wholesome, productive use. Students choose from such diverse enrichment classes as violin, piano, cooking, computers math and chess. Classes are taught by CAIS teachers, as well as professionals from the greater San Francisco community.

Enrichment Classes take place on campus, Monday – Friday, 3:40 – 5:40 pm. A fee is charged.

CAIS Journalism Club

Fifth grade teacher Ron Morris has orchestrated an army of aspiring journalists to create the bimonthly Paper Dragon magazine. To date, the club has produced four issues; all of which are student-run including story concepts, research, interviews, photos, writing and editing.
Morris and his group of fourth through eighth grade journalism club students have pioneered the Paper Dragon out of his classroom after school on Friday afternoons. The "Dragon," as it’s affectionately called, is a work of love of journalism and serves as a catalyst for students interested in writing, photography and design.

Be sure to check out issues of the Paper Dragon here.
