    After-school programs for curious kids

    BioTroopers students at the Ashwood Glen School after-school program

    A hands-on biology enrichment program filled with experiments, creative challenges, and an exciting end-of-term Science Fair.

    What our after-school program is

    Kids dive deep into one fascinating biology subject each term through hands-on experiments, creative projects, and scientific inquiry, culminating in an exciting science fair where they showcase an original research project.

    Art is a huge part of making science fun. Our program encourages kids to explore their creative side and mesh it with biology through music, poetry, theater, arts and crafts, podcasting, and more.
