Grades K-8. With walk over service to / from AKCS.
Katharsis Media is a fully operational television studio and co-op for content creators. Open studio hours allow kids access to our equipment, training, and staff support. Kids can make podcasts, short films, write scripts, edit footage, create stop motion, play with animation, record audio stories, or even tape an audition. If there is enough interest, we can also start an AKCS News club.
If none of that is to their fancy, we also have a variety of games, books, and art supplies they can play with. Weekly storytimes, crafts, group games, and activites are also planned throughout the semester.

Oh--and if you've been here before, we've expanded our space and hired some AWESOME new staff!!

Kids' Open Studio Sessions
Registration fees are required for drop in / pay as you go students ONLY. Registration fees are per child, not per household. Please be sure to purchase a registration spot for each child you intend to register to ensure spots are held for all children.
Registration fees are applied to your account in the form of credit, but are forfeit if not used. Registration fees hold your child's spot for up to 30 calendar days. If not used after 30 days without any communication, unused slots may be given to those on the wait list and your registration fee will be forfeit.
You must maintain a $25 per child credit balance on your account for your child to have an active membership.
Any unused credits at the end of the school year will be transitioned to studio credit.
All students are subject to late fees. Afternoon sessions end at 5:20pm. Please ensure you are here to pick up your child prior to this.
Late fees are as follows:
$1 per minute beginning at 5:21pm. $5 per minute beginning at 5:31pm.
Late fees will be automatically taken out of prepaid credits. If paying per session, late fees will need to be paid upon pick up or prior to the next session used. If late fees are not paid, they will be calculated and deducted from any remaining sessions.
