    Chautauqua Before & After School Program

    In a continued effort to meet the needs of our community, the Wentzville School District is proud to offer the Chautauqua Before and After School Program. Now in its twenty-third year, Chautauqua provides families with a caring, enriching, and well-supervised environment for their children outside of regular school hours.
