Children become increasingly self-directed, taking ownership of their own learning. The advisor maintains close contact with parents. Formal conferences are held twice annually, and final reports are mailed in June. The Afterschool Program offers Lower School students a safe, comfortable, and engaging experience following school dismissal. In addition to recreational, creative, and educational activities, the Afterschool Program provides indoor and outdoor play, a quiet area for older children to work on homework assignments, snack time, and rest opportunities.
Activities range from cooking to kite construction, from sledding to woodworking.
Children from age three to twelve benefit from their work and play together. These full-day programs frequently include beach excursions, hiking, skating, and other special trips in the Portland area. For information on fees and schedules, please contact the Admissions Office.
