Extended Day Programs

Princeton Academy provides Extended Day Programs and classes for students in Kindergarten through Grade 8 every weekday.

Extended Day Programs are coordinated by Vince Geraci. Programs are open to all students and are held on all full school days. Extended Day Programs are divided into three trimesters which cover the entire school year. Parents will have the opportunity to enroll in the fall, winter and spring.

While the cost for Before School Care and After School Care are now included in tuition rates, Extended Day Classes do carry a registration fee. If you enroll your child in a class, you will have the option to add the After School Care extension. You will only be charged for the class.

(REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!)

Program Information and Policies

Before School Care

After School Care

MONDAY - FRIDAY

After School Care will consist of supervised, structured and unstructured playtime. Snacks will not be provided by the school. Students will eat their snack (brought from home) during dismissal, in their classrooms, prior to being brought to After School Care.

After School Care hours are 3:00-6:00 p.m. and is primarily for students enrolled in advance for the trimester; however, drop-ins are welcome. Since we are concerned about the proper supervision of students after regular dismissal, any child who has not been picked up by 3:20 p.m. will be sent to the After School Care and enrolled for that day.

Extended Day Classes

Princeton Academy offers Extended Day Classes to students in Kindergarten through Grade 4. Classes meet 3:30-4:30 p.m. unless otherwise noted. Students may be enrolled in one class per day. Drop-ins are not permitted for Extended Day Classes.

Please see below for the Spring 2025 trimester offerings. Registration is now open!
