The afterschool program serves children ages 4 to 12, with students picked up from local schools by bus and brought to the school at 150 Howe Hall Road. Students receive a snack, have access to a quiet classroom for homework help, and can use an outdoor play yard with covered areas, a basketball court, and outdoor games, along with indoor rooms for free play, STEM projects, and crafts. The program runs Monday through Friday from 1:45 to 6:00 pm, with part-time attendance and sibling discounts available, plus full-day camps during school breaks and summer.

Classes begin with the Student Creed and the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by personal warm-ups, stretching, and warm-up laps around the karate floor. Instructors then cover the evening's focus and objectives before moving into instruction, bodyweight strength training, and a group discussion, closing with a game of dodgeball. Students learn self-defense, discipline, respect, and focus, and can test for new belts as their skills develop. The school's office is open Monday through Friday from 12pm to 6pm.

Holy City American Martial Arts has built a strong local reputation, reflected in consistently high customer ratings across 29 reviews.
