West End Toronto & Etobicoke In-Person After-School Programs for Fall 2020

Classes and Programs

West end activity providers are reopening and beginning to offer theatre, art, coding, and sports programs — some after a successful summer camp season.

All the programs we’ve included here have COVID-19 protocols in place like reduced group sizes, enhanced cleaning measures, physical distancing requirements, and more. Some are also offering daytime programs during the week for kids doing home learning.

Toronto West End

After-school programs in Roncesvalles, High Park, Bloor West Village, The Junction, and other west end locations.

A full schedule of classes from ballet and tap to Broadway, breakdance, and Glee Club are being offered at Randolph Kids Performing Arts Centre near Bathurst and Bloor. Enhanced cleaning and safety protocols are in place.

Musical Theatre

At Stagecoach Performing Arts’ 10-week fall musical theatre classes, kids develop their acting, singing, and dancing abilities as well as confidence in a nurturing environment.

Drawing, Painting & Mixed Media

Classes start in October at Art Works Art School, with a range of options for kids and teens, from age 4 and up. Classes emphasize developing visual awareness, personal expression, imagination, and comfort with materials.
