LEAP Program * After-school Enrichment  


Spring 2012 LEAP is LIVE!  

LEAP is the fee-based after-school enrichment program that offers a variety of extra opportunities for our students to explore interests outside of the daily classroom and discover hidden talents. Classes begin at EC3 and take place at each of our Harding campuses. 

   

New for this spring is Suzuki violin for EC3 through 2nd grade. The Strings program continues the learning process for 3rd grade and up. We have piano lessons for all ages, plus woodwinds, brass, and percussion lessons available.  Also New . . . guitar lessons - will be uploaded soon. 

 

We have added some one-day classes like:

  • "Stepping Stones" for Mothers Day  
  • "Let's Tie-dye" t-shirts for late spring
  •  A pretzel making class around Easter 

Plus . . .

ACT prep will be offered prior to the April 14 test.
