After School Clubs

After School Clubs are managed by the Wilmette Park District, but conveniently located right at Harper School. A wide variety of classes is offered during the winter, ranging from sports to science to music and much more!

Our popular Harper Chess Club is offered throughout the school year.

The Harper Garden Club is offered in the Fall and Spring (this program is not run via Wilmette Park District).
