After-School Big Labs Program

INFORMATION AND ENROLLMENT

Typically, our After-School Big Labs Program is offered Monday through Friday from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. on all days school is in session. However, with COVID-19, the program is on hold and will be resumed as soon as possible. Our After-School Big Labs Program is free and is primarily intended for Vibrant Minds Charter School scholars in Grades 3-6. The focus is on VAPA (Visual and Performing Arts), STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), and life skills. The format is based on an elective system so that scholars may enroll in areas in which they are highly interested so they can grow their interests and talents into strengths. Enrollment is opened at the beginning of each trimester, so there needs to be a commitment or re-commitment each trimester to avoid inconsistent attendance, which is disruptive to the learning process. There are three separate elective blocks of time, and the schedule is as follows:

3:00-3:15 p.m. -- Snack in Picnic Plaza
3:15-4:05 -- First Elective Block
4:10-5:00 -- Second Elective Block
5:05-5:55 -- Third Elective Block

The hope is to keep the groups small (10-20 scholars) so the specialists have an opportunity to work closely with each scholar. Scholars who are enrolled in the GOALS for Vibrant Minds Program are welcomed to enroll in the electives on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, as long as room is available. While the classes are free of charge, there are limitations in terms of space. If there is an over-subscription, a waiting list will be developed. Download and fill out the registration when it becomes available. There will also be a description of each of the elective options. When the Big Labs Program resumes, please return the forms to the school office prior to the start of each trimester. That way, we will be able to organize the classes for the first week of each trimester. If you have any questions, contact Kla Cook, the coordinator of after-school programming 
at kcook@vibrnatminds.us or 701-660-5227 via text or phone call.

What Our Families Are Saying!

"Project-based learning is how we feed out minds. We walked in as students and walked out as scholars." Mayra Velazquez

​"A place where your children will find their strengths and will learn to empower themselves." Silvia Favela
​​

"We can't say enough good things about our school! They are true to their mission of developing interests into strengths by offering a wide variety of opportunities for every scholar, both in the regular school day and in the after-school program. Our girls have explored a number of musical instruments, cooking, sewing, coding, woodworking, dance, gymnastics, and vocal performance, just to name a few. And they have embraced a growth mindset as they learn how to tackle projects independently and as part of a team."  Alyssa Truman ​

"​I am pleased with the entire staff and their genuine concern with my grandson's academic growth. Thank you!"

"I absolutely love this school. Thank you, Vibrant Minds Charter School!"​


"I love this school, wonderful teachers, and staff that give the best care and kindness to my kids. Dr. Schroeder is the best director I have ever encountered. She is warm, kind, and loving and creates a safe and happy environment for everyone."
