SUMMIT'S AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAM

The Summit Afterschool Program provides a safe and caring environment that flows from the academic day with a dedicated staff that inspires and engages the whole child, meets the needs of parents and reflects the values of Summit School. Summit Afterschool has a carefully designed schedule that gives students plenty of time to create, play, move and learn. Experienced staff members supervise all programs and diligently oversee the safety and well being of each child. Students have the chance to experience school with a little less structure and enjoy an extra dose of hands-on indoor/outdoor activities. There is built-in homework time for older students and opportunities for each child to explore and develop his or her own interests. Parents can choose from a variety of program options to create the ideal schedule.
