The afternoon, handled

Our Gilmer after-school program starts where the school day ends: we provide transportation from school to the academy at 202 Buffalo St. A child gets off the ride at the dojo instead of an empty house, and the rest of the afternoon has a shape to it — snack, gametime, and homework help before the day is done.

That is the practical version of what an after-school program is supposed to do. Parents who work past the last bell don't have to choose between a sitter and a scramble; kids get a routine that includes food, a chance to burn off the school day, and a quiet stretch for homework, in a building where black belt instructors teach karate every week.

The program serves Gilmer, Harmony, and New Diana schools. That list is the honest one — those are the schools we run transportation for. If your child attends somewhere else, call us and ask, but we won't promise a pickup we can't actually make.

Gilmer families

Who the Gilmer program is for

It is for working families in Gilmer, Harmony, and New Diana with school-age kids who need somewhere real to be between the last bell and dinner.

Because transportation is part of the program, the school your child attends matters more than the town you live in. If they go to Gilmer, Harmony, or New Diana, the program is built for your week.

The academy also teaches karate classes for kids, teens, and adults, so a family can train in the same building rather than running two separate schedules across two towns.

The afternoon

What the Gilmer afternoon actually involves

Four things are part of every program day — and nothing on this page was invented to fill space.

  • Transportation from school

    We provide the ride from school to the academy at 202 Buffalo St, so the program starts when the last bell rings rather than when a parent gets off work.

  • Snack

    A snack is part of the afternoon. Kids come off a school day hungry, and that gets handled without anyone having to think about it later.

  • Gametime

    Time to play — screen-free, and part of the program on purpose. After a school day, kids need to move before they can settle.

  • Homework help

    A stretch of the afternoon is set aside for homework, with help on hand to keep it moving instead of letting it pile up until bedtime.

The program runs out of a martial arts academy, which is the reason it works as a routine: the same building, the same faces, and the same standard of behaviour every program day. If you want to know what a specific afternoon looks like, call 903-494-7040 — we'd rather tell you on the phone than print something that goes out of date.
