Extracurricular Programs

Ricks Center's extracurricular programs offer students the opportunity to delve deeper into their passions and uncover new interests. A variety of clubs, sports, and classes in art, music, science, physical activity, and language are available for children who want to spend quality time with their fellow students outside of school hours in a safe, fun, and stimulating environment.

Clubs

Ricks’ students can participate in clubs, such as Lego Robotics, where participants flex their engineering muscles as they build and program Lego robots and participate in friendly competitions against other Robotics clubs. An after-school Study Club is also available as part of our extended care offerings. Other clubs may be offered throughout the year depending on teacher, student and parent interest.

Student Council

Upper School students have the opportunity to participate in Student Council. Student Council teaches leadership and cooperation as students coordinate community service events, plan all-school spirit week, and organize Upper School functions, such as socials and movie nights.
