Beyond The School Day
Athletics
After school Athletics begins in 4th Grade in a developmental league where students are encouraged to participate and try new sports. This helps them focus on the process, not the outcome, and build self-confidence.
As students reach 6th Grade, we participate in a more competitive league, which prepares them with the skills needed to partake in middle school athletics and demonstrate commitment to the team.
Our purpose is to support our students by fostering communication skills, adaptability, mental toughness, and positive thinking, while striving towards a common goal through healthy competition.
Before and After School Daycare
Early morning care is provided at no additional charge from 7:30-8:30 a.m.
Our After School Daycare is offered daily until 6:00 p.m. for an additional fee. Daycare staff are employees of The Center and create a homey, warm environment where children can choose between active play, arts, board games, building, and more!
Debate Team
As part of the Upper Elementary After School Program, CEE founded a Debate Team in 2012 to support and inspire students who wanted to conduct research, collaborate with others, and develop their rhetorical skills. As a part of this team, students engage in extra independent reading, writing, and verbal communication. CEE’s Debate Team competes in tournaments and wins numerous awards each year.
Math Olympiads
In 2012 CEE founded its first Math Olympiad team to support and inspire students who showed a strong interest and aptitude in math problem-solving. The Math Olympiad team continues to be a popular extracurricular activity for students who are excited to practice their math skills. Team members meet outside of class and do homework preparation to practice different types of math problems. Since its founding, the CEE Math Olympiad Team has competed every year in local competitions and has won numerous awards.
Musical Groups
We offer several musical groups for children who are interested in additional musical opportunities. Our Junior Choir is open to all 2nd and 3rd grade students. The CEE Choir is open to all 4th-6th grade students. Both choirs rehearse twice each week before school.
A Cappella Choir is our award-winning, audition-based 3rd-6th grade choir, intended for singers who are ready to sing three- and four-part harmonies. A Capella meets twice each week after school.
Musical Theater
Second through 6th grade students are invited to participate in Lullaby, our after-school musical theater program. Students work for most of the year learning lines, songs, and dance choreography for a musical play that is presented in the spring for the students and parents. This experience allows children to perform in a fun, supportive environment and to gain an appreciation for the performing arts.
