Elementary Programs Overview

The MBX Foundation, in partnership with the Manhattan Beach Unified School District, offers After School Enrichment Programs at each of the MBUSD elementary schools. Our programs provide TK–5 students with fun, engaging opportunities to learn, create, and stay active in a safe and familiar environment.

Classes are held in person after school, Monday–Thursday. Immediately after school is released, students meet, are given a snack, and are supervised until the start of their enrichment class. Students are picked up at the completion of the class. Class schedule is subject to change — please check back on your school page the evening before registration opens.

All proceeds earned through your participation in MBX programs are given back to our schools, helping fund programs and opportunities that benefit students throughout the district.

Program Policies

Cancellation & Refund Policy

  • Refunds are processed when the cancellation is received.
  • Cancellations received after registration closes and before the session begins — full refund, less a $20 administration fee. This fee only applies once the credit card has been charged.
  • Cancellations before the second class meeting — refund less the cost of one class, less a $20 administration fee.
  • No refunds after the second class meeting.
  • Full refunds are issued for any class canceled by MBX.

Class Confirmation

Parents receive a confirmation email upon completion of registration, prior to the start of the session, from the MBX Program Coordinator.

Attendance & pick-up

Please notify the coordinator in advance if your child will be absent. Students should be picked up promptly at the end of class.

Late pick-ups beyond the 10-minute grace period may incur additional fees.

Student Code of Conduct

Cooperative behavior makes enrichment programs fun and safe for all. If a student is seriously disruptive or unsafe during class, the first instance is a warning and parents are contacted. On a second instance the student may not continue with the program, with no refund.

At registration, families confirm their student is motivated to take the classes they are enrolled in, so the experience is a good one for everyone involved.
