At Gilberts Arts Academy we know that educating the whole child is key to meeting student needs and providing a well-rounded learning experience. In addition to our academically challenging and balanced curriculum, we offer a variety of extracurricular clubs and activities, based on student interest.  We alternate activities throughout the four quarters of the school year and are always looking for new and fun activities to interest and challenge our students.  Additionally we have our own girl scout brownie troop on campus every other week and an afterschool care program that runs until 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Each quarter Gilbert Arts Academy's Mustang Club offers a variety of after-school activities to enhance the learning experience for our students. Information regarding the clubs being offered for the quarter will be sent home with each child. Please ensure you check your child's backpack or mustang binder.

Each fall a club is dedicated to the Arizona State Fair and helping students decide on projects they wish to enter at the fair.  We had 21 entrants win 1st place ribbons, eight won 2nd place, four won 3rd place, one won 4th place and 10 won honorable mentions.  There were many, many entries from duct tape cameras and tote bags to santa sequins and solar systems.  Teachers Tuterow (blue) and Waterworth (mention) also won for their entries.
