After School Science

LJES After School Science Enrichment Program
(Tuesdays after school)
We love learning about science at La Jolla Elementary School! In 2006, we formed a partnership with Rendezvous Science Center in La Jolla. We offer an after school science enrichment program to all students in grades K-5. The fees for this program are paid directly to the school.

The After School Science Enrichment Program will be offered once/week on Tuesdays for the 2011-12 school year. Our La Jolla Elementary teachers at each grade level will work with students on carefully chosen science topics and activities that will expand and enrich the regular curriculum taught in our science program. It will be taught as our science program is taught with hands on exploration and an inquiry-based approach.

Please call the school office (858) 454-7196 if you would like more information about the program.
