Older Afterschool
The Older Afterschool program (OAS) provides an exciting student driven experience
that expands upon the earlier grades and allows students more freedom to structure
their afternoon based on their individual interests. The primary teachers in the
program offer a variety of activities during the day, which can include sports,
drama, art projects, cooking, dance and music. We also invite specialists to teach
a subject in more detail, based on student interest. In the past these have included
such subjects as Band, Fencing, Theater Improvisation, Weaving and Aikido. Parents
can also arrange to have their child spend a portion of Afterschool time doing homework
under the supervision of a teacher.
The Fayerweather Afterschool program is far more than just child care - many of
our teachers have advanced education degrees. Through the combination of unique
activity choices and relaxing downtime, we strive to create a fun and stimulating
environment that is unique from the regular school day.
