After-school and Intersession Camps

The Beresford PTA organizes a variety of after-school enrichment programs for children in all grades. 

Programs vary from Mad Science to West African Drumming to Architecture and more. We offer two classes right after school on minimum day Wednesdays. We also offer "Intersession Camps" for one week during each Intersession Break.

Please contact Dorrie Pollock dorrie@leapfrogresearch.com for more information and to learn about the scholarships that are available.

Enrichment opportunities for all

In addition to our core curriculum, we are proud of the enrichment opportunities students have here at Beresford. All programs are fully supported by our generous PTA:

*  Art program--All students receive 8-9 weeks of Art instruction from Mrs. Canda each year when they learn how to draw, paint, sculpt and design. They study famous artists, learn technique, and celebrate their work at the Spring Art Show each June.

* Technology program--We have a new computer lab where each class visits every week to receive instruction from Mr. Abrams on keyboarding skills, internet safety, word programming and internet research. In addition, classes visit the lab when they are working on projects and/or publishing their Writing Workshop pieces.

* Spanish class--All 1st-5th grade students who are fluent English speakers receive 30 minutes of Spanish instruction from Mrs. Sepulveda four days each week. Students learn vocabulary, art, music and history as they are introduced to a foreign language and culture.
