General Information
Caedmon Afterschool has changed its program to include options for 60-minute or 80-minute classes. All afterschool classes begin at 3:40 and end at either 4:40 (now know as Afterschool 60s) or 5:00 (now known as Afterschool 80s) unless otherwise noted. What hasn't changed is the diverse range of activities available to all or our students.
This term brings some exciting new classes along with the return of popular mainstays. For those wanting a physical challenge, Monday's Runners Club for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades provides a unique challenge. Students will build up their endurance as they work on the proper running stride, pacing, and breathing, all along the running lanes of the East River promenade.

Sports for the younger ones include Monday's Beginners Tennis and the popular Sports Medley on Fridays.
