After-School Classes

After-School Classes further enhance a student’s After Care experience. Seasonal sessions typically run six weeks; pricing is variable based on ages, subject area, materials, program length, and vendor partners.

Offerings include (but are not limited to) study hall, tennis, martial arts, dance, golf, chess, and more. Classes are taught at Forsyth by current and former faculty and staff members or outside partner vendors (examples include Frontenac Racquet Club, St. Louis Scott Gallagher, etc.).

Family may also arrange private art lessons, music lessons, and tutoring directly with Forsyth faculty members.

League Sports

Forsyth participates in the Clayton Recreation League; offerings include soccer, girls’ volleyball, basketball, tee-ball, baseball, and softball. Practices are held after school at Forsyth; games are held at the Center of Clayton or Charles A. Shaw Park.

Students in Pre-Kindergarten and Junior-Kindergarten participate in a soccer skills clinic with St. Louis Scott Gallagher at Forsyth.

The $210 per-season fee includes league fees and uniforms for season use.
