What kinds of activities do students do in the after-school Social Groups at The Burkard School?

Get ready for a mix of fun, learning, and just the right dose of structure. Each Social Group session at The Burkard School follows a rhythm that keeps kids engaged and growing. It starts with “Peaks and Pits,” where students share a highlight and a challenge from their day. Then comes a social skill spotlight, taught through discussion, worksheets, role play, or even games. After that, it is time to team up for a collaborative group activity like obstacle course design or creative challenges. Finally, there is Centers, aka reward time, where kids pick from screen-free activities as a celebration of their progress. It is fun with a purpose, and every moment is designed to build skills and confidence.
