Enrichment Clubs and Music Lessons

At Mt. Helix Academy, learning and growth extend beyond the school day. Students are encouraged to explore interests that spark curiosity, creativity, and personal development through a variety of enrichment clubs and specialty programs offered throughout the year.

Enrichment opportunities run intermittently in rotating 6-week sessions, giving students the chance to discover new interests, develop talents, and build meaningful connections with their peers. Offerings may include opportunities in STEM, arts and creativity, strategy and critical thinking, athletics, leadership, and hands-on exploration.

In addition to enrichment clubs, students may also participate in private and small-group music lessons led by our talented staff, providing opportunities to develop musical skills and confidence in a supportive environment.

Upcoming session dates and registration information will be available soon. Watch for announcements and sign-up opportunities throughout the school year.
