After-School Programs

A wide array of after-school programs are available for all students in grades K-12.

  • After-school care: After-school enrichment programs for students at the six elementary schools and Walker Upper Elementary are offered in partnership with the Piedmont Family YMCA. YMCA After School operates every day that children attend school, beginning at school dismissal and closing at 5:30 pm. Learn about YMCA After School at CCS.
  • Athletics: CCS athletic programs start in middle school, with an emphasis on sportsmanship, healthy competition, and becoming a positive team player. At Buford, students have the opportunity to participate in football, volleyball, cheerleading, swimming, basketball, baseball, track, and softball. At CHS, they can additionally participate in cross country, field hockey, golf, wrestling, lacrosse, soccer, and tennis.
  • Clubs and activities: At our elementaries, teachers and parent-volunteers lead clubs in areas like photography, cooking, or dancing. At Buford and CHS, extracurricular clubs and activities include everything from music to debate to foreign-language-interest groups.

After-School Activities Bus

To encourage our students to participate in extra-curricular activities, at all our schools we provide an after-school activities bus that returns students home after clubs or sports practices. (CHS offers an activities bus at two different times). Contact your school for details.
