Extended Day

The New School offers Before School Care as part of each student’s yearly tuition. Drop off begins at 7:30 am and ends at 8:30 am. Kindergarten through 12th graders enjoy a grab and go style breakfast and free time under the supervision of Classroom Teachers.

The New School also offers an After School Program as part of each student’s yearly tuition. The After School Program begins at 3:30 pm and ends at 5:30pm. Kindergarten through 8th graders enjoy structured free time under the supervision of trained college-aged staff members. Their daily activities may include tech time, recess, arts, games, movies, and study hall. We want our students to have fun in a safe environment as they wind down from the busy school day. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns you have about our After School Program.
