MISSION Our Mission is to provide a safe, fun, active environment for your

children to thrive in after the school day is over. At Ellixson’s AfterSchool, we apply the same proven methods of learning that we have had tremendous success with in our 30 years of teaching and caring for children at Ellixson’s Tae Kwon Do Academy.


ARE YOU looking for an after-school program where your kids are NOT just

sitting around, unsupervised, doing nothing?


WOULD YOU feel better knowing that your kids are in a trusted, safe

environment while you are at work?


WOULD YOU like your child to learn martial arts where they develop

discipline, respect, goal setting and confidence?


WOULD YOU like your child to be around motivated, goal oriented individuals

that provide a positive, learning environment?

YOUR KIDS WILL LOVE OUR MARTIAL ARTS AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAM!

Most kids look forward to the end of school, so they can ‘veg out’ at home on video games and social media. NOT at our school! 


Ellixson’s Tae Kwon Do students are motivated to finish their school day for other reasons. They can’t wait for the school to end and the martial arts learning to begin! From the time we pick them up from school to the time their parents take them home, our students are safe and entertained.


The Ellixson's Teaching Method is structured, carried out with the utmost sincerity, tried and true. We build strong kids here in Boyertown, since 1994.

Build Life Skills & Good Character with Us!

√ We pick your kids up at school* in our Ellixson's AfterSchool vans.

√ We give your kids time to snack.

√  We offer your kids help with their homework, time management and good study habits.

√  We offer your kids important leadership & character building skills – on and off the mat.

√  We help improve confidence, concentration, discipline and the skills it takes to make friends. 

*Transportation provided for students at: Boyertown Elementary, Colebrookdale Elementary and Washington Elementary Schools

She enjoys spending time with her husband Jon, and their two children Asia and Dylan, all of whom have trained at Ellixson’s Tae Kwon Do Academy. 


From Mrs. Swenk:


“Surrounded and inspired by a motivational community of learners, is a gift that is most appreciated when it is shared."


"Making a difference in the lives of children is a privilege and an honor. Having the opportunity to provide a balance in the daily routine of the young people of our community at Ellixson’s AfterSchool, seems a natural place to make that difference."

Jana Ellixson, Assistant Director

"creating community" at Ellixson's and treating kids like her own, instilling confidence and character.


From Mrs. Ellixson:


"I love to work with the children, it is a great way to help them develop good healthy habits and watch them grow throughout each year."

"Clearly my passion is working with children and hoping Ellixson’s AfterSchool will help them grow and flourish in our Community. I cannot wait to work with your Kiddos."
