After Skool Kool is an out-of-school care program that provides a safe and nurturing environment for youth with developmental disabilities between the ages of 13–19. The program strives to support the development of social skills, life skills, and community access through recreational, leisure and social activities. While doing this, we are ensuring that we provide a creative and enjoyable atmosphere that encourages each person to develop to their fullest potential. Among some of After Skool Kool’s activities are community excursions, art, dance, games and visiting places like the SPCA and the Post Office.

After Skool Kool is offered Monday to Friday from 3:00–5:30 p.m. for teens ages 13–19. After Skool Kool provides transportation from the 3 local high schools (Elgin, Earl Marriot, and Semiahmoo Secondary).

After Skool Kool is also offered for kids ages 9–12 on Mondays. Please note that parents/caregivers of this age group (9-12) must provide their own transportation to the program as it is unavailable at this time.
