Athenaeum is our After-School Program.
What is ‘Athenaeum’? The word Athenaeum (ath-uh-nay-uhm) comes from the school in Rome, founded by Emperor Hadrian in 133 A.D., that was designed to promote literacy and scientific studies.
At Roosevelt, the Athenaeum After-School Program is a comprehensive program that has the same culture and educational focus as our academy. Each day, students are provided with dedicated homework time in addition to a variety of culturally enriching, hands-on activities in a safe and supportive after-school setting. Athenaeum scholars also enjoy time for recreation, games, socializing, and just plain fun! Athenaeum is open to Grades K-5 and is available daily from the dismissal bell (even on early release and half-days) until 6:00 PM Flexible and affordable options are available to fit any family’s after-school needs.
