Arrupe After-School Programs

Arrupe welcomes neighborhood kids for after-school programming Monday through Wednesday. High school students can use these links to sign up. Parents of children in grades 3-8 will find applications further down on this page.

I've participated in Arrupe since the 3rd grade. Being tutored by the high schoolers and having fun with them, I knew I wanted to be like them one day.

About Our Programs

The Arrupe Neighborhood Partnership offers eight after-school programs for neighborhood children in grades 3-8. Most programs operate for a 7- or 8-week session and are led by high school volunteers, plus an adult moderator. 

Programs include:

  • Cat Pack - Sports-based programming whereby students receive coaching in various sports from adults and high school volunteers.
  • Culinary Arts –  Learn recipes and make delicious snacks, desserts and meals.
  • Homework Club - Students receive tutoring and homework help from Saint Ignatius students, or spend time together playing board games or doing other activities.
  • Coding/3-D Printing –  Students will learn basic coding procedures and techniques. They will also learn to design and print 3D items.
