Before Care and Extended Day

City of Lakes Waldorf School offers an Extended Day Program for Toddler through 8th grade students, from the end of the scheduled program day through 5:30 pm. Extended Day is offered every school day, with the exception of the day before school breaks or when the school closes at 12:00 pm.

Before Care is available for students in Kindergarten – 8th grade, starting at 7:30 am. Before Care is available on all school days.

After School Sports

City of Lakes Waldorf School offers an after school sports program for all 6-8th grade students through the League of Independent Sports Teams (LIST). City of Lakes Waldorf School fields a 6th grade team and a combined 7-8th grade team to compete against small area independent  schools. Sports offered include fall soccer, winter basketball, and spring volleyball.

Why join after school sports?

  • Encourage life-long physical activity
  • Players learn to support and encourage one another through teamwork and good sportsmanship
  • Foster a sense of belonging and strong bonds within the class
  • Support gross motor skill development
  • Builds confidence and self esteem
  • Develop selflessness and team skills

The LIST approach to student sports values the participation of every team member over winning. The season is a continual learning process. Students learn basic skills before the season starts, and players are given the freedom to ask questions, practice, and improve. Parent cooperation with this ideal is crucial to its success.

Chamber Players

Beginning in 6th grade, students may choose to participate in Chamber Players. This smaller ensemble meets after school and focuses on enhancing chamber music skills while offering increased performance opportunities within the community.
