A Flexible, Engaging End to the School Day for Grades K-5

Our Lower School After School Program (ASP) provides students with a safe, welcoming place to play, learn, and unwind each day after school. We also offer the program on special schedule days, including at the start of school vacations.

Regular School Days: 3:00pm to 5:45pm

Our After School Program staff engage students after daily dismissal in homework & play with friends; families may also opt-in to enrichment clubs and/or music lessons. Students can stay for one hour or the entire afternoon and they may vary their schedules from day-to-day.

At the end of the day, program staff also ensure students who ride the 4:00 p.m. bus board the appropriate bus on time. For more Information on daily bus service, visit the bus service page.

Special Days: Half or Full Days

There are a number of early dismissal days, family-teacher conference days, and select vacation days (“vacation camp”) at the beginning of Winter and Spring breaks. On these special days, students enjoy arts and crafts, baking, sports, and more. During winter break “vacation camp,” students are also able to participate in ice skating.
