After-School Activities

Meaningful opportunities for GAC’s Lower School students, all in one place.

GAC’s after-school activities give Lower School students opportunities to explore interests, develop new skills, and build friendships beyond the school day.

Why drive all over Atlanta for private lessons, athletics and after-school activities? Your child can experience numerous convenient activities all on the GAC campus in a safe and nurturing environment. From youth athletics and arts to hands-on STEM experiences or after-school care, students can find meaningful ways to learn, create, play, and connect.
