After School Programming
Peabody Enrichment Program
The Peabody Enrichment Program (PEP) is specifically designed to augment the traditional academic program with in-depth exposure to a variety of interesting, educational and fun topics. These enrichment opportunities are taught by faculty, staff, parents and community members, and each course meets weekly after school from approximately 3:30 – 4:30 p.m. for six weeks.
All enrichment courses are open to multiple grades, though many have some age guidelines due to the curriculum. Children outside of Peabody are welcome to enroll in these classes, space permitting. Fees for classes include all materials.
Enrichment classes include: chess, painting, soccer, clay, MathCounts, D&D, debate, and crafting
After School Care
Peabody School operates a state-licensed After School Program to accommodate Peabody parents’ needs for after-school care for their children. The program runs from dismissal until 5:30 p.m. every day school is in session (unless parents are notified otherwise). The cost for initial enrollment in the program is $25 (per student) annually, and there is an $18 fee (per child) for each day that the service is used, regardless of what part of the session a child attends. Daily fees are reduced to $6 per day for students who attend the After School Program at the conclusion of Homework Club or Enrichment. If your child attends Homework Club and then goes to the After School Program, you will be charged $12 for Homework Club and $6 for the After School Program.
If you would like to enroll a child in Peabody School’s After School Program, please complete the optional After School Registration Form on your parent portal and submit a check for the $25 enrollment fee. It is very important that you fill out the registration form completely, as the information is required by law.
Homework Club
In response to the need of many of our students to have some structured time for homework between school and an after-school activity (e.g., music lessons, sports, etc.), we offer an after-school study hall (Homework Club).
Peabody faculty members supervise Monday through Thursday from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. each week that school is in session (unless parents are notified otherwise), beginning the second week of school. Teachers provide a quiet, supervised environment in which children can work and are also available to provide assistance with homework to any child who needs it. A small fee is charged when students attend and parents are billed monthly.
Students who attend Homework Club work on school assignments. At the conclusion of Homework Club, students are picked up or escorted to the After School Program. Students who wish to attend the After School Program after Homework Club must be enrolled in the After School Program.
