Afterschool Programs for Preschool-Grade 8

Brooklyn Friends School is committed to meeting the scheduling needs of today’s working families and to offering children a variety of exciting specialty classes in their afterschool hours. Our comprehensive afterschool program provides safe, nurturing, and age- appropriate care and activities for children in preschool through grade 8 from 3 to 6 pm daily.

Afterschool programs are not included in tuition. The cost varies depending on the hours and specialty classes.

The afterschool program for preschool children meets in a preschool classroom, providing continuity for the children’s school-day activities. Lower school children may participate in playgroups, homework club or homework clinic, and specialty classes that keep them productive and busy throughout the afternoon. There are many specialty classes that the children may choose from, such as chess, art, music, dance, hands-on science, knitting, French, Spanish, and recreational sports. The middle school program offers study hall and homework clinic as well as specialty classes in chess, multimedia, and documentary film-making.
