Before & After Care

Capitol Language Services

Capitol Language Services is an independent and local organization founded in 2006. Our mission is to create educational, affordable, safe and high-quality after school programs. When CLS started, we offered classes that aimed to strongly foster interest for foreign language in students at the elementary school level. Over time, CLS has evolved into a complete after school program that offers not only language classes, but also other exciting enrichment activities and camps.  The deadline to register for after-school is August 14, 2023. CLS requires a $70 registration fee to hold a spot.  Please fill out a registration form on our website. We will give you a call so we can charge you for the non-refundable registration fees. If you enroll in the program in August, the registration fees will be refunded to you.
