OBA Next Drop-In Options
INTRODUCING OBA NEXT AFTER SCHOOL!
We are really excited to introduce our OBA Next After School Program! This is something we have had in the works since we started OBA Next in October 2024.
What is OBA Next After School?
OBA Next takes all the best parts of the OBA Next class experience and expands it to include school pickup at bell time from Marian Anderson Neighborhood Academy and Stanton Elementary School.
What will the program entail?
Following pickup, our team will lead the Next'ers back to OpenBox Athletics for snack and structured play or homework time. At 4PM, OBA Next class will take place as normal.
When will pickup be available?
Pickup will start at the end of the OBA Next class (5pm) and run through 6pm. Note, pickup that occurs after OBA Next is over will happen in our 1935 Washington studio room where Next'ers can relax, play, and await their guardian pickup.
What is the program Schedule?
The OBA Next After School progam Schedule for the 2025-2026 school year will be three days a week, Monday/Wednesday/Friday.
What about School Closures and Holidays?
The program will be closed for all recognized Philadelphia School District holidays, in-service dates, and half days. Our goal is to follow the PSD schedule as closely as possible with little deviation; however if there is no bell at 3:20pm assume that OBA Next After School pickup will not occur but that OBA Next class will.
What if my child wants to come to more OBA Next Classes?
Families who register for OBA Next After School get access to all OBA Next classes, including those that occur outside of the Monday/Wednesday/Friday After School program schedule.
What Age Range is eligible to join the OBA Next After School Program?
The OBA Next After School program is open to students at MANA and Stanton who are ages 6-12.
What is the Program Cost?
Program cost is $400 every 4 weeks
