After-School Programs

Activity on the Pace Academy campus continues long after the school day ends. Through our Knight Crew and Enrichment programs, we offer a multitude of activities for Lower School students to explore their interests, try something new or simply play.

Knight Crew

Knight Crew, our everyday after-school program, focuses on “letting kids be kids” in a safe, supervised and fun environment. The program strives to extend the same character-building opportunities and inclusive environment found in our Lower School classrooms to after-school activities.

Students join Knight Crew when their regular school day ends (2 p.m. for Pre-First; 2:30 p.m. for first grade; 3:30 p.m. for second through fifth grades) and may be picked up any time before 6 p.m. Throughout the afternoon, Knight Crew participants enjoy snacks, supervised play and homework times. Students may enroll for the year or attend on a drop-in basis.
