After the School Day Karter Schools offers trusted before and after school care for children ages 5–12. Our afterschool care program is designed to keep kids safe, engaged, and thriving long after the school day ends. Whether you need reliable morning drop-off or enriching afterschool enrichment programs in the afternoon, we’ve got your child covered in a warm, nurturing environment built just for them.
Karter Schools provides year-round child care and school-age programs—from fun field trips on teacher work days and week-long camps during winter and spring breaks, to themed summer day camps. Families in Gainesville, VA, and across Loudoun County count on our after-school programs to keep their children safe, active, and inspired all year long.
Students at Karter School have individualized schedules (partnered with their parents' guidance) where they can select from 36 clubs.
Don’t worry, clubs are rotated every 8 weeks, so your child won’t get bored! Plus, we have an entire hour dedicated to homework time. Also, we have a proprietary curriculum for early finishers or students who do not have public school homework.
Running (in different directions and at various speeds), jumping (over hurdles and cones in different directions), throwing, climbing, kicking, throwing to targets and other kids, shooting, swinging, catching and passing are all intentionally practiced.

What makes a video game fun? What makes a video game bad? What qualities make a game timeless and remain enjoyable for decades? Our program encourages students to explore what they love about existing games, and apply that to their own creations. Students are introduced to the world of video game programming using several game design and game programming software such as scratch, Tynker, Roblox Studio, and more.
Want to start with nothing, explore and gather materials, and see how long you can last? Want to have every resource at your fingertips, and just build castles with your imagination? All of that and more is possible with Minecraft.
