More than thirty after-school workshops and activities are offered from Grade 1 through Grade 12 as part of Craighouse's Educational Project, enriching learning beyond the classroom. Activities run Monday through Thursday after school hours, with the annual list published in March and sign-ups in the last week of March. The programs begin in the first week of April and run through the end of November, and most activities carry a monthly fee while some require an annual fee for materials or uniforms.
Arts and Crafts, Cooking, and Storytelling are highlighted in the After School Club, fostering creativity and self-expression. The program includes Manga Drawing, School Band, Guitar, and Piano, plus STEAM activities and a Musical Theatre Project that involve students across different year groups. Additional offerings include Reciclarte, Bricks 4 Kidz, 3D Modelling, LEGO robotics, and other visual arts workshops, with performances and exhibitions linked to school events.
Debate in Spanish promotes critical argumentation, constructive dialogue, and analytical understanding of current events and school-related topics, with opportunities to research, build arguments, and present ideas. History Bites is a hands-on culinary workshop that explores history through food, teaching cultural and historical context. These activities are offered to students across middle and senior years.
After School Club features a wide range of activities after school, including arts, crafts, performing arts, coding, and sports.
