The St. Helens Afterschool Recreation Program (S.H.A.R.P.) is an after school program designed for students in kindergarten through 5^th grade. 

Tuition for the 2025-26 school year is $3700 for the year or you can pay monthly at $370 per month (September - June: see specific dates of operation for further details, we operate in connection with the St. Helens School District Calendar and that doesn't always match with Arthur Academy).

Tuition does not include holidays, winter break, spring break, or additional no school day events.  There may be other camps/kids days out that St. Helens Parks and Recreation offers but it will be an additional fee.
