Before and After School Program
Welcome to Carver Middle School’s Morning and After School Programs!
The aim of our program is to provide a safe, supportive, and enriching environment for students after the regular school day ends. Whether your child is interested in academic support, physical activities, cooking, creative arts, or simply making new friends, we have something for everyone. Our team of dedicated staff is committed to fostering an atmosphere where students can grow, explore new interests, and develop important life skills.
