The San Francisco School extended day program offers an engaging variety of activities suited to preschool, elementary and middle school students. The program opens at 7:30 a.m. each day and closes promptly at 6:00 p.m. Over 50% of students participate on a weekly basis in activities ranging from art projects and outdoor play for preschoolers, to musical instrument and Mandarin language lessons for elementary school students, to Student Council and competitive athletics for middle school students. Parents may register students for daily attendance, specific enrichment activities or last-minute drop-in sessions. Please contact Gilbert Bagaman if you have questions or suggestions regarding the extended day program.
The preschool extended day program provides a warm and caring environment with a variety of activities. The morning program includes child-selected activities, opportunities to learn Spanish, and free play in the spacious outdoors areas. The afternoon program includes a circle time with singing and games; an afternoon snack; organized art activities; an indoor classroom with a complete array of preschool pastimes; and our expansive outdoor area where children can run, dig, build and swing. In the morning and the afternoon, North and South Class preschool children expand their social horizons while they are in extended day together!
The elementary school extended day program offers a variety of scheduled activities, such as indoor arts and crafts, outdoor games and sports, musical instrument lessons, baking and chess. Students register in advance for most scheduled activities. In addition to these scheduled activities that vary daily, students have the opportunity each day to play in the outdoor areas and work on homework with teacher supervision. The School also provides space for private tutors to work with students during the extended day program. Elementary School Extended Day Schedule (pdf)
For many middle school students, the extended day program is a natural extension of their school day. Several activities integral to middle school life occur at this time, such as Student Council, Yearbook, Amnesty International, and the interscholastic athletic program. Additionally, there are other scheduled activities such as art, recreational sports, musical instrument lessons, fencing and chess. A Leadership Training class offered in the first session provides committed middle school students the opportunity to be trained and supervised as junior counselors for the elementary school students in extended day. In the ensuing sessions, trained middle school junior counselors can then assist and/or lead extended day classes (e.g., assistant, coaches, tutors, chess teachers.) In addition to the broad spectrum of scheduled activities, students have the opportunity each day to socialize and play outdoors, be with tutors, and work independently on homework with teacher supervision. |
