Our Programs > Afternoon Program

Our school day programs ends at 2:30 at which time children either depart for the day or stay for our Afternoon Program. The Afternoon Program at Bellwether is a celebration of play, creativity, and learning. Our program enriches the Bellwether experience, providing opportunities for students to learn skills for creative expression, work together in mixed age groups and benefit from the input of guest artists and specialized teachers.

The Afternoon Program is open to Bellwether students, alumni, siblings and friends. Bellwether students transition easily from the end of the school day into their afternoon activities. Students who arrive at Bellwether from other school are integrated into the Afternoon Program by a member of our teaching team. The Afternoon Program has its own registration and payment process; enrollment in Bellwether’s school day does not guarantee enrollment in our Afternoon Program. Our Afternoon Program includes two types of programs for students so they can choose days and activities that suit their interests. All programs are structured and are led by experienced teachers.

Core

Core is the heart of the Afternoon Program, led by a team of experienced and creative teachers. Students are gathered from their classrooms by the Core teachers at the end of the school day and may be picked up at any time until 5:30 pm. Registration is by day-of-the-week per session (Fall and Spring); dropping in to the Core program is available with advance notice and payment of $22/day.

Enrichment

Enrichment at Bellwether encompasses specialized classes which give children the opportunity to focus on a creative, athletic or academic discipline over the course of a session. Enrichment classes meet once per week and are geared toward specific age groups. Examples of Enrichment classes include: Wetlands Ecology, Vive La France, Chess, Magical Math, Drama Club, Welcome to the Improv, Puppetry, From Scratch, Mechanics of Motion, Odyssey of the Mind.
