After School Care
The Raleigh School offers an on-site after school care program for students enrolled in our kindergarten through fifth grade classes as well as our school day 4’s class.
Enrolled students may stay at school from the regular dismissal time until 6:00 pm. Options include one through five days per week.
After school at The Raleigh School is an extension of the school day. Children are able to enjoy various activities and experiences in a relaxed atmosphere. The goal is to provide a variety of developmentally appropriate activities including arts and crafts, structured and unstructured play, sports, and study time in a creative and nurturing environment. Children are assigned to one of three groups by age. Our adult to student ratio ranges from 1:12 in the lower grades to 1:15 in the upper grades.
The program operates from the time school is dismissed until 6:00 pm on all school days and on some teacher workdays. If school is cancelled or dismissed early due to inclement weather or other unusual circumstances, the after school program is cancelled for that day.
Each year the program explores a different theme. Themes have included Passport Around the World, Animal Adventures, When I Grow Up, and Exploring America.
