About

Extended Day is an opportunity for students to engage in hands-on, minds-on activities in a variety of areas. The activities are created and supervised by certified teachers and teacher assistants. A few of the many activities include baking, arts and crafts, manipulatives such as Legos or puzzles and/or outdoor play. In addition, daily homework time is scheduled into every afternoon. Extended Day is available for one to five days per week. Enrollment is done in one of two ways for your convenience. Please see enrollment options.

Regular vs. Drop-In Enrollment

Regular enrollment should be submitted in advance for the whole school year, or a month at a time. Students may also enroll in Extended Day on the same days they participate in the Enrichment program for a pro-rated fee.

Extended day enrollment is online only. Email confirmations will be sent out to the email address used to register.

Drop-In:
Drop-in enrollment is for your convenience, or as a last minute option. Drop-in requests can be submitted the same week or day, or within 24 hours notice all for an additional fee. Extended day enrollment through the website is required before any Drop-In requests are accepted.

Please note that while we will try to accommodate all Drop-In requests, we may not be able to accept all Drop-Ins based on attendance. In addition, an email must also be sent to afterschool@fa.org indicating the change in dismissal for the week or day that the Drop-In option is requested.

After Enrichment: $20/day (K-4th) $25/day (EC)

About

Our Enrichment program is designed to broaden our students’ experiences, deepen their understanding of various subject matters, and develop specific skill sets. Classes are taught by experienced Friends faculty and professional instructors. Sessions are grouped to accommodate various learning levels and may be grade specific due to the field of study.

Grade

Session Time

Early Childhood 2:45 - 3:15 pm
Kindergarten - Grade 4 3:20 - 4:20 pm
Grades 5 - 12 3:30 - 4:30 pm

 

Enrollment

All students must be enrolled in order to attend Enrichment. Drop-ins are not permitted. Enrollment is online only and operates on a first-come first-served basis. Programs will close as they reach their maximum number of students, as noted on the course descriptions, and may be cancelled due to insufficient enrollment.

If a class is closed, you may email afterschool@fa.org to indicate that you would like to be placed on the "waiting list" and you will be notified if a space becomes available.

Children will be able to drop a course after the first class, but there is no guarantee that they will be able to add/join another class after doing so. This will depend on overall enrollment in the classes. Please note, that due to salary commitments and material costs, one-half of tuition will be refunded if a student chooses to drop a course after the first class but before the second class. Refunds and class changes will not be permitted after the second class. No exceptions will be made.

Fridays with Friends

Designed especially for children ages 12–36 months, these classes are all about having fun, exploring, and making sweet connections together.

Each session is a little adventure—filled with art, music, movement, and lots of smiles. No two classes are the same, so there’s always something new to enjoy!

We know life with little ones can be busy (and unpredictable!), so we’ve made things super easy with our flexible drop-in schedule. Come whenever it works for you—no pressure at all… but we’d absolutely love to see you each time!
