After-School Science Clubs

For the 2024-25 School Year

So that every student can experience as much science as possible, each session contains 3 separate themed "Units". Each unit will explore a variety of projects within a scientific topic, including but not limited to: chemistry, physics, engineering, geology and more! Descriptions of each unit and some example projects are provided below!

Fall Session

Unit 1 - Extreme Radical Reactions

Join us as we explore the chemical elements while having fun creating our own chemical reactions! Students will create concoctions that bubble, fizz, warm up, and even change color! What a great way to start the year!

Unit 2 - Hocus Pocus Science

Calling all would-be magicians! Follow in the footsteps of Harry Houdini as we discover how magic tricks are really just careful applications of science.

Unit 3 - It's Rocket Science

Explore the final frontier by blasting off your very own screaming rocket balloons, building an artificial gravity machine, making a planetarium, and much more!

Spring Session

Unit 1 - Coasters and Contraptions

Join us this session as we combine Newton’s Laws and experimental design to learn the physics behind the twists and turns of roller coasters and other cool devices like a Cartesian diver and a kaleidoscope.

Unit 2 - Geology Rocks!

Do you love to collect rocks? If so, this is the place for you! In this session we will discover the science that happens underground. We will explore geodes and will discover the science behind how rocks are formed.

Unit 3 - Grossology

This is the science of really gross things! Featuring facts and experiments about stuff that’s slimy, mushy, oozy, crusty, scaly, stinky, and smelly!

Where can I find the Club Scientific Code of Conduct?
As an academic program, all Club Scientific students are expected to follow our Code of Conduct, which can be found in full here. Students who cannot follow the code of conduct may be dismissed from future classes.

Where do the After-School classes take place?
Each of our schools provides us with a designated classroom for our classes. See the School Procedures tab for information specific to your child's school.

Does my child need to bring anything to class?
No need to bring anything!  All materials will be provided by your child’s instructor.

Do the projects repeat?
No. Every week is a new project! And each year is different, so your child can enjoy Club Scientific after-school classes year after year!

What if a class is canceled?
Cancellations are very rare, and usually only occur due to extreme weather. If school is cancelled, then our classes would be cancelled as well. If a class were to be cancelled for some reason, we notify all parents via text message and email as early as possible so that alternate arrangements can be made.

How do I pay?
You can pay online by credit card when you register! We also have monthly payment plans available at check-out.

What is your cancellation policy?

• We stand by our classes with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. If your child does not have a great time, and you decide to withdraw within the first two weeks of an after-school class, or after the first day of a summer camp, we will issue you a full refund.
• We do not issue refunds for non-attendance (i.e. sick days, vacations, etc...) Our classes have a limited number of spaces available, so each student enrolled has a guaranteed reserved spot which cannot be resold to any other students. Similar to the Extended Day programs at our schools, we still have to purchase the same amount of supplies and staff the same employees, regardless of student attendance.
• If your family's schedule changes midway through a semester, we may be able to offer a refund of the future unattended classes if we can replace your child with another student on the waitlist. These refunds will carry a $15 Cancellation fee, to cover our non-refundable credit card fees and school rental charges.
• All payment plan cancellations will carry a $15 fee
