Before & After School Program

Flexible Schedule to Fit Your Family's Needs

Before- and After-School Program

At WES, the learning and adventure extend beyond the regular school day, with interesting and worthwhile options for students before and after school throughout the year. Our popular After-School Enrichment Program is offered from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m., ranging from clubs to study hall, help sessions, musical rehearsals, cooking, art, dance, and sports practice. While most are covered by tuition, some enrichment programs are fee-based.

For students in Nursery and Pre-K, families may drop students off as early as 7:40 a.m. for guided self-play for no additional fee. Students in Grades 1-8 may participate in Open Gym which is free, supervised play in the gymnasium and is from 7:25-7:50 a.m. daily.

After School Program for Preschool - Grade 1

Extended Day

An Extended Day program is offered daily (exceptions being the day before Christmas break, Graduation Day and the last day of school) for an additional fee. It begins at 3:30 p.m. for Nursery – Grade 1 and runs until 6 p.m. Students may work on their homework or participate in supervised free play. The Extended Day Room, Computer Lab, Gym, and playground are all available for use. Drop-ins are also welcome.
