After-school programs are just getting underway for Wayland’s K-12 students, with programs offering a chance to study Chinese, French, and Spanish, enjoy choral singing, gain self-confidence through drama exercises, explore in a STEM program, pursue a love of art, or do garden work on a crisp fall day.

Offered through Wayland School Community Programs (WSCP), the classes are offered through Community Education and vary by school and age group.

The fall programs were preceded by several successful summer offerings that included journalism, computer programming, and a week of “summer strings” that culminated in a performance for family members.

Fall 2017 classes also include gardening at Happy Hollow, Beehive Art at Claypit Hill, and the debut of Little Local Vocals Children’s Chorus at a third school, Happy Hollow. The new offering resulted in the highest enrollment of all three elementary schools, with 15 children signing up. In all, 35 children across the district have joined the program, which brings singers from all three schools together for two concerts each year.

Drama Kids, an international program with a local franchise, continues to appeal to Wayland students with 72 elementary school students participating in the weekly classes.

Private Music Lessons are available for orchestra members in grades 3 – 12, band members, Grades 4 – 12, and chorus members, grades 6 -12.
