Open to the public, Poughkeepsie Day School’s Enrichment Program presents students of all ages with the opportunity to extend their learning beyond the classroom in a joyful and supportive environment. It is scheduled parallel to our After School Program, so children can join their peers in After for a healthy snack prior to attending class, and have the option to re-join them for some downtime when class ends. It should be noted, though, that it is not required for children to also participate in the After School Program if they attend an enrichment. The fee for After is discounted to $10 on days that a child is also taking an enrichment class.
Note: Bussing is available for districts within 15 miles of Poughkeepsie Day School.
