Enrichment

Enrichment at STEM is the place students can find all of the school’s after-school, summer, and other enrichment offerings. Because many of the offerings are as unique as our school is, we invite students from throughout the Denver metro area to participate in our Enrichment program. Through Enrichment at STEM, students can participate in a variety of amazing clubs and programs, in arts, athletics, robotics, technology, and a variety of special interests.

Before/After School Care

Elementary School Students

STEM Elementary partners with the Douglas County School District to provide parents with access to after school care program, B.A.S.E.*

Please link here for all of the information on B.A.S.E.

*STEM Elementary morning drop-off begins at 7:10 am daily for the school day and participation in the B.A.S.E. program is not necessary for morning care. Secondary students dropped off with their elementary siblings may walk to the Secondary Athletics Entry to wait in the Secondary Commons where they will be supervised by staff while they wait until 7:30 am for the school day to start.

Middle/High School Students After School Care Program

STEM Secondary is happy to provide a safe option for supervised after-school care for students grades 6-12 from 3:00 – 6:00 pm. This program is available on a drop-in basis, so there is no need to schedule days in advance. We utilize the SmartCare childcare platform to manage student sign-in/sign-out and payment. Parents are encouraged to set up their students in the SmartCare application before the. The program resides in the Middle School Cafeteria, on the West side of the school campus.
