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 info@mountainsol.org with any questions.
