Mountain SOL offers after-school programs for all local students. All classes are priced using sliding scale tuition (within a price-range) so you can choose what you want to give to the school. Payments made above the maximum listed price are considered donations. If you would like to apply for a needs-based scholarship, please go to our Giving Goats Scholarship Fund.
All after-school programs are held on the Morgantown Learning Academy
campus unless otherwise noted – MAP HERE
Age restrictions for each group are flexible.
We work hard to make sure that kids have a good social network within their class as well as similar skill levels.
Group placement also depends on the experience and maturity of each participant.
Please contact us at [email protected] with any questions.

This class is for students who want to learn more about the trees, animals, plants, trails, and treasures we have on the Mountain SOL campus! We will spend our time hiking and exploring our forests together. While this class will be full of fun and exciting discoveries, our instructors will consistently use principles of individual responsibility, team work, and good stewardship to direct our adventures.
Parents: personal responsibility is a BIG part of this group, so remind your child to prepare and encourage them to pack their own gear the night before. We will be going outside in ALL weather types (Cold, wet, rainy, and muddy!). Please feel free to e-mail Mallard instructor Mr. Benjamin ([email protected]) or Mr. Jason ([email protected]) if you have questions about gear. Each child needs to bring a backpack, a water bottle or camel pack, and a nut-free snack with a label for each adventure.
Please note: Instructors will determine which students will advance to Mapaches based on experience, maturity, and levels of personal responsibility. Parents will receive a checklist of their child’s progress at the end of each semester.
*Study hall for MLA students will be from 3:15 until 4:00 to allow time for public school
and home-school students to travel to MLA. We will begin class promptly at 4:00!

Mapaches (Raccoons)
This past Summer we ran a week long Tabletop Role-Playing Game class and it was a HUGE success, so we decided to bring it back as a weekly class! Every Friday we will gather together, throw dice, and talk in silly voices. We will play a different genre of game each semester in an ongoing campaign. This semester we will be playing a brand new game called SHADOWDARK! (Imagine Dungeons and Dragons but much easier to learn and much simpler to play!) Mr. Jason will be providing everything that is needed to play the game, though if students already have a set of dice they are encouraged to bring them!
Note: because of the nature of this class, enrollment is limited to 8 Students Total
