Brookside After School
The focus of Brookside’s after school programs is to provide expanded academic enrichment, as well as creative and athletic opportunities for children who remain past the scheduled school day. Parents who work longer hours have the option of enrolling their children in our After Care program where children are supervised by Brookside staff members, treated to snacks, and partake in organized activities.
Brookside’s young mathematicians practice for the challenging Math Pentathlon after school, while musically inclined youngsters take private instrument lessons and practice with the Choir. Outside clubs such as the Daisies and Boy Scouts hold meetings in our facilities after school hours as well. In general, Brookside programs that take place after the bell has rung are not separate from the school day, but an extension of the day and the values that are emphasized in our classrooms.
Destination ImagiNation
The Destination ImagiNation program builds problem solving skills, teamwork and divergent thinking. Teams of five to seven students, led by parent coaches, meet after school to practice spontaneous problem solving, develop a solution to a problem, and present their ideas in a team-created performance. The solutions are presented at a school assembly and the regional tournament.
Math Pentathlon
A national math enrichment program, Math Pentathlon provides the opportunity for students of varying abilities and learning styles to have fun while playing games that develop mathematical concepts and strategic thinking. The program is run by parent volunteer coaches.
Boy Scouts and Girls Scouts
Cub Scout, Brownie, and Girl Scout groups, organized and led by parent volunteers, meet at Brookside after school hours.
Music Lessons
Private instruction is offered on campus to all interested students at a mutually convenient time for the student and instructor. The lessons focus on scales, arpeggios, etudes, and solo and chamber music literature that is generally not offered in the ensemble class.
Choir
Brookside Choir, directed by Miriam Moore, provides an opportunity for students who love to sing to expand on skills developed in music class using a variety of quality children’s choir literature. Concert performances culminate each session.
Brookside Choir is an opportunity for students who love to sing to concentrate on their singing voice as an instrument. Students will expand on skills currently developed in music class. Pure vowels, clear diction, improved tone quality and resonance will be explored using a variety of quality children’s choir literature. As group skills allow, we also will touch on two- and three-part rounds and part-singing. Our study will culminate with concert performances by the groups.
