After School Classes:
Explorer’s Club
(Grades K-5)
Explorer’s Club is our after school care that is two sided. It offers students an opportunity to relax and unwind after school while hanging out with friends. It also offers a focus class time in which students are expanding their learning through art, coding/typing, steam challenges and nature exploration. Explorers Club is broken into 5 terms. Each term has a special theme in which students will learn about. Once a term outside speakers and presenters will come into each of the four focus classes to teach a special class. At the end of each term, families are invited into exhibition night to see, experience and learn about what their students have been doing during Explorers Club. Enrollment is a year contract and students may choose to attend two days a week or more. Students are bussed directly from their respective Edina schools to A2D Academy and snacks are provided daily.
