EXTRACURRICULAR/CO-CURRICULAR PROGRAMS

Saint Paul School offers an after-school/extended day program. This program is staffed by two professionals, who oversee the program, and is designed to meet the social/academic needs of the student and is available to students in K-1 through grade seven. Its hours of operation are from school closing to 6 pm, Monday through Friday. A variety of activities are provided, including gross motor skills, computer skills (educational supportive software), arts and craft projects, and visits to various community designations (Duck Pond, Library, Brook Path Hiking Trail, etc.).

In addition, as an integral part of the program for grades one and up is the home support component. This program is designed to motivate the students to do their assignments under supervision completely, correctly, and in a timely manner. There is close interaction between the school faculty and the after-school professionals to ensure that the students’ requirements and needs are known and met. Parents lead after-school enrichment programs in which they share their unique skills and knowledge. Examples of these enrichment programs are model rocketry, writing, and arts and crafts. In addition, parents organize and sponsor a Ski Club.

The school also offers the opportunity to participate in the school band. This is a contracted service for which the parents deal directly with the organization. Other co-curricular programs are the six-week Organizational Skills course, and a High School Test Preparation course offered to eighth grade students in the fall, both staffed by faculty members of the school.
