Programs

At Aspen, learning goes beyond the classroom. Our programs provide extra support, real-world experiences, and hands-on opportunities that help students grow as leaders, problem-solvers, and engaged community members.

Staying Curious Beyond the Classroom

After-School & Expanded Learning Programs

Aspen’s after-school and expanded learning programs create safe, supportive spaces for students to learn, grow, and connect beyond the traditional school day. Through the After School Education and Safety (ASES) program, students at all campuses participate in homework help, hands-on activities, and enrichment in areas like STEM and the arts. The Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP) extends these experiences into non-school days with programs like Winter Blast, summer sessions, and creative intersession activities.
