After school

SPARC, our after-school care.

SPARC is open to every enrolled student, from 3:00 to 6:00 PM. Families register month by month through the Family Knight News, so the program stays staffed to Diocesan Safe Environment standards.

  • 4:00 pickup is $13 · 5:00 pickup is $15 · 6:00 pickup is $17
  • Unregistered drop-in days are $30 per child
  • Parents send a snack; grades 2–8 may work on homework

Need a drop-in day? Email the SPARC director, Samantha Ibrahim, at sibrahim@cathedral-school.net before 2:00 PM.
