Saint Laurentius works to help each and every student identify the gifts that God has given them. To do so, we offer a variety of after-school clubs and activities, for students to explore their interests and discover their passions. Explore our clubs below!

Science Explorers
Through this club, each child has the opportunity to demystify, inspire and explore the wonderful world of science with hands-on, inquiry based lessons aligned with the National Science Education Standards. Students work together with teachers to learn about their communities and to become citizens of tomorrow.

Rock to the Future
Rock to the Future is a 501(c)3 organization that provides music education for Philadelphia’s youth at no cost to them or their families.

They empower individuals and strengthen communities.
