How The Afternoon Works

Our specialty classes take place right on the Red Mountain Elementary campus immediately after the school day ends.

3:30 PM - 4:00 PM (Instructor Arrival and Setup): You arrive on site with 30 minutes of prep time to set up your room, organize your materials, and get ready for the lesson. During this time, students finish their regular school day at 3:30 PM, head to the on-campus Boys and Girls Club area for a snack and outdoor unwind time, and get ready for your class.

4:00 PM - 4:45 PM (Class Instruction): Students arrive at your room energized, fed, and ready to participate. You lead an engaging 45-minute lesson!

4:45 PM - 5:00 PM (Wrap-Up and Clean-Up): Class finishes, students transition to their next activity, and you spend 15 minutes packing up your materials. You are wrapped up and done by 5:00 PM.

Position Structure and Student Cohorts

Flexible Multi-Day Schedule: Teach 2 days per week (Mon through Thu options). Students register for specific days. You will work with the same dedicated cohort of students on their scheduled day(s) throughout the entire 8-to-9 week session.

Enrollment Contingency: Classes are contingent on a minimum enrollment of 13 registered students per session.

• Hands-On Science and Discovery: Explosive, interactive experiments without screens (e.g., baking soda volcanoes, slime lab, solar print paper, or magnet science).
