For youth, a new semester of ACE Kids classes begin the week of January 19. Most will be held online, organized by category instead of by school. Offerings include arts & crafts, fitness & dance, STEM, languages, life skills, and more. There will also be several outdoor, in-person classes, as well as Driver’s Ed and SAT prep for high school students.

The VacationFun! enrichment program will run from February 16-19 for grades K-8. Registration is open and will continue until the first meeting of any class, as space permits. Most classes will be in-person at Ottoson Middle School and the program will follow all current APS safety protocols. This year only, in-person classes are open to Arlington residents only. Choose morning or afternoon classes or combine for a full day of enrichment. For those who prefer a virtual format, there is a selection of 1-2 hour remote classes, open to residents from any town or state.
