What is DPIE Afterschool Enrichment & How Does It Work?
Dublin Partners in Education (DPIE) offers fun and engaging afterschool enrichment classes in Art, STEM, Coding, Chess, Cooking, Sports, and so much more! Classes take place right on your child’s school campus, just minutes after the dismissal bell. No driving around town or juggling extra schedules! Each class meets once a week for 8–10 weeks, and families can register for one class or multiple classes throughout the week.
Does your child attend EDCC? No problem! Students simply check in at EDCC after school and then walk to their DPIE class. Once class is over, they return to EDCC. For our youngest learners in TK and Kindergarten, DPIE instructors will pick them up directly from EDCC and escort them back after class. Students not attending EDCC can be picked up at the designated school pickup location.
We encourage families to register early! Early enrollment helps us confirm instructors, prepare materials, and finalize class schedules. It also gives us time to provide families with all the important information needed for a smooth and successful first day.
Give your child something exciting to look forward to after school! Register today. Questions? We’re always happy to help at info@dpie.org.

It’s confidence, creativity, and fun with our after-school drama club – The Actor’s Workshop!
Through theater games, acting exercises, and playful scene work, students will build confidence, improve communication skills, and learn how to express themselves in front of others. This beginner-friendly class introduces the fundamentals of acting in a supportive environment where every student gets to shine.
Students will explore the “three tools of the actor” – voice, body, and imagination – while learning how to create characters, think on their feet, and work as a team. Along the way, they’ll discover important life skills such as:
Speaking with clarity and confidence (great for school presentations!)
Using body language and expression to communicate effectively
Overcoming shyness and stage fright
Supporting and encouraging others in a team setting
The program culminates in a fun, informal showcase where students perform short scenes and monologues for family and friends — a celebration of their creativity and growth.
Best of all, this is a program students can take more than once! Each session introduces new games, activities, and performance pieces, ensuring kids are always challenged, inspired, and growing their skills.

We love all the classes that you offered. Thank you for continuing to provide great resources for the after-school program.
I would like you to add more new classes at DPIE. We like the Money Matter class and right now our kids are enjoying the class. Good to add a class with financials like that, then at least they can learn some basic.
