Discovery is Aidan's after school enrichment program. Taught by Aidan staff and outside vendors, classes are offered three times a year in the fall, winter and spring. We offer classes in the arts, athletics, technology and language. There is an additional fee, with reduced rates for children already enrolled in the After School Program.

Discovery Program News & Posts
GOTR has extended its registration deadline to Midnight this Sunday, March 25 - and we'd love to see your daughter join if she isn't already signed up!
Mark your calendars now: Spring Discovery signup will start on April 2. Don't miss out because you sign up too late - and do take a look at a preview of what will be offered!
It's time to sign up for Winter Discovery! Register soon to make sure your child gets into their first choice program. Please note: there is no winter session of Girls on the Run (hence, no conflict with Discovery) and Tippi Toes is offering a Hip Hop Dance Class (not ballet).

Bryan's interest in athletics started early. In high school, he played football, wrestles, and ran track. In college, he played football.
Bryan, along with his mother, father, older brother, and sister, grew up in Central Florida. He comes from a very large Italian family, mostly situated in South Florida. His older brother is a priest in Orlando, and his sister works for the National Engineer's Association here in Washington, D.C. Bryan's mother and father are living the retirement dream in Florida. His father is a four-time retired middle school English teacher and his mother has worked in and around finance. He is pleased to report that he still sees them often; they split their time between here and Orlando, taking care of their two Westie puppies, dancing, and holding hands when they walk down the street. In his free time, Bryan enjoys reading (especially sci fi and fantasy), playing co-ed competitive sports, outdoor hiking and trail running, deep wilderness camping, playing video games, & going to the gym. On weekends, he relaxes and hikes with friends and attends church every Sunday.
