Enrichment Classes at Peck

The Peck Enrichment Program (PEP) provides students an opportunity to apply what they learn in the classroom to extracurricular learning that is fun, engaging, and sparks their passions! Students hone their skills in a variety of subjects from chess, dance, art, sports, and cooking—all infused with Peck's core values and high standards.

PEP sessions are offered during the fall, winter, and spring. Each session is eight weeks long, with courses meeting weekly during that time period. All courses are taught by Peck teachers and other professional educators or industry experts.

  • PEP classes run from 3 - 4:05 p.m.

  • Parents should pick up their children between 4:05 - 4:15 p.m. Please display the pink PEP placard that you received at the start of the school year on your dashboard.
  • If you arrive prior to 4:05 p.m., please park and wait in your vehicle.

  • Students not picked up by 4:15 p.m., will be escorted to Aftercare and family accounts will be charged accordingly.

  • Parents will receive a welcome email prior to the first class from the teacher with pick-up instructions, any materials needed, and other notes and reminders.

  • Makeup classes will not be available for students that are absent.

  • If students are unable to attend the entire PEP class period (3 - 4:05), we ask that your child not attend class on that day. Instructors cannot accommodate an early pickup from class.
Class registration fees will be billed to your Blackbaud Tuition Management account.*

*Refunds due to cancellation will not be available after Sunday, March 10.
