Extended Programs

These varied programs are available in all Divisions and introduce activities in academics, athletics or the arts. Our Enrichment Programs are offered outside the normal school day.

Casady School Summer Program activities are offered during the summer months including our “Jump Start” activities in early August before the start of school.

The goal of the After School program is to allow students in grades PreK-4 to explore safe and developmentally appropriate activities at their own pace in their own way; the program provides a variety of activities, including homework time, for your child. The program is staffed primarily by college and high school students interested in working with children. Our staff is committed to providing a safe and positive experience for your child.

We are continually are looking to improve our offerings to better serve our community. Please contact our office if you have information about a worthwhile experience for our children. Check out our website and look for email blasts as we add programs throughout the school year.
