Westlake Charter School offers a wide range of expanded learning opportunities and programs including our Before and After School Explorers (BASE) program and After-School Live (ASL), which includes clubs, athletics, enrichment, our talent show, and much more. Our programs embrace the same Core Values and expectations our Explorers experience during their instructional day, which strives to provide students with a consistent, safe, and inclusive environment. Through our partnership with the State of California’s Expanded Learning Opportunities Program, Child Action, and program vendors, participation in after school programs and enrichment may be available to you at no cost. Please check in with the BASE team for information on program availability and details. Together, BASE and ASL offer more than 210 days of before and after-school activities throughout the year, have low/no-cost options available, and provide families with over 9 hours of daily expanded learning!
