Workshops

BASEC Workshops are enrichment classes that promote deep exploration into topics of interest for BASEC students. When space is available, BASEC Workshops are opened to the greater Fowler community. Children who don’t usually attend after school are encouraged to take BASEC Workshops.

BASEC @ Fowler Fall Workshop Session — REGISTRATION OPEN!

Please review this catalog of classes to learn more about the enriching workshops being offered at BASEC @ Fowler.

Workshops begin the week of 10/2 and continue for 10 weeks. 

All workshops will run from 2:30 PM – 3:30 PM at Fowler Middle School. Students should be picked up or have sign-out authorization in place to depart BASEC @ Fowler each day by 4:30 PM, if they are not signed up for after school that day. After School students transition to and from Workshops directly from BASEC.

Per our licensing regulations, all students participating in BASEC Workshops must register (and complete our enrollment form) for BASEC. If your child currently attends before or after school, you are already fully enrolled! Just register for the Workshops you would like below. If your child is not currently registered for BASEC for the 2023 – 2024 school year, you may register for the Workshops below and then we will email you our enrollment form that will need to be completed and returned before Wednesday, 9/27/23.

We are excited to announce that tuition for all Workshops will be free to students enrolled in BASEC after school on the day of their workshop. 

Tuition

  • Student enrolled in BASEC on workshop day — FREE!* (Except for Improv which is $20)
  • Student enrolled in BASEC but does not attend on workshop day — $100.00 (Except for Improv which is $120)
  • Student not enrolled in BASEC — $100.00 (or $120 for Improv)+ $50.00 ($50 is a one time registration fee).

*Our online registration e-commerce tool will not allow us to discount workshop tuition down to $0. As a result, families registering for a workshop on a day their child attends after school will be asked to submit a payment of $1. This will be applied to your next invoice.
