After-school Programs

Pike Plus

The positive and nurturing environment that The Pike School students receive in the classroom every day continues into the after-school program, Pike Plus. Our dedicated after-school teachers carefully plan a variety of fun and interesting activities—from craft-making, to story time, and games.

The Pike Plus Program also includes plenty of time for just being a child on the playground or free play in a classroom. For Middle and Upper School students, there is time set aside to work on homework.

Enrichment Programs

Our Enrichment Programs are a great way for students to explore and try new things. Each program will meet once a week from 3:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. Students who are also enrolled in Pike Plus will report to check-in after their program has finished. Students not enrolled in Pike Plus, must be picked up at 4:30 p.m.

There will be different programs offered in the Fall, Winter, and Spring. Our Winter session will begin on January 4 and run through March 3, unless noted otherwise in the program description. Each program has a limited number of spots and there will also be a minimum number of participants in order for a program to run.

Enrichment programs are not held on Professional Development Days, early dismissal days, holidays, school vacations, and snow days.
