Enrichment and After School

Our students don’t stop learning when classes end for the day. On both Lower and Upper Campus, PBDA offers a wealth of after-school enrichment opportunities for children who are eager to discover and explore new interests. A safe and structured environment empowers our students to try new things while building confidence and strengthening teamwork skills. We also provide aftercare and homework help.

Note, both Lower and Upper Campus Enrichment have been canceled for Fall 2020. We hope to resume Enrichment in January 2021. Aftercare on both campuses will have limited capacity available. To reserve a space for your child, please email Linda Merman on Lower Campus and Leslie Piester on Upper Campus.

With at least half a dozen different activities and classes scheduled every day for students in Primary to Third Grade, the Lower Campus Enrichment calendar truly does offer something for every child with options changing each semester.

Budding artists can choose from painting, ceramics, 3-D sculptures or join the Art Club. Young athletes can take lessons in tennis, golf, soccer, martial arts, cheerleading, yoga and gymnastics. Scientific minds will be intrigued by Lego Robotics, our STEAM Train and Hands-on Equations.

On the Upper Campus, we will open the Wean Library until 4:00 p.m. each day and space will be limited. This is for families who cannot physically pick up their child due to outside family obligations or work. Please email Leslie Piester to save a space. Need will be deemed necessary by the Head of Upper School.
