5 day Afternoon (Monday – Friday 12:30–3:15 p.m.)
This class was originally designed based on input from parents who didn’t feel that their 5 year old was emotionally ready for Kindergarten. Our thematic curriculum builds on the past preschool experience of the students. Our five day-a-week class provides time to dig deep into the subject matter to fully experience a topic, giving it a feel of “real school”.  Many of these students choose to test for the T-1 Program at the end of the year.
