After School Program

Capitol Hill Day School's After School Program (ASP) provides a safe, secure, and engaging environment for children to enjoy the company of friends while participating in developmentally and age-appropriate activities. ASP Counselors and classroom teachers work together to help students transition seamlessly from the academic day program into the after school program.

Children have three after school options: the After School Program, Enrichment Classes (including Tae kwon do, yoga, soccer), and the After School Music Program (individual and ensemble instrument and voice instruction). Your child may participate in any or all of these programs.

The program operates from 3:10-6:00 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, and on Wednesday from 2:10-6:00 p.m. Extended hours or full days are offered on family conference days, teacher workdays, and during spring break. Children may participate in ASP on an hourly, daily, or monthly basis.

Financial aid for full-time students in the After School Program is available.
