Before School: Solis Ortus

Solis Ortus is a tuition-based extension of the school day for families who need to take advantage of an earlier start to the school day. Solis Ortus allows our families to drop off students starting as early as 7:00 am. Students spend the morning with some of our friendly teachers engaged in activities and games!

After School: Athenaeum

Athenaeum is focused on the liberal arts and promotes learning by providing students dedicated homework time in addition to a diverse array of culturally-enriching, academically-oriented activities beyond the classroom. Our activities and lessons are aimed at improving students’ scholastic performance by reinforcing the lessons, virtues, and curriculum of the classroom.

But it’s not all academics! Athenaeum scholars also enjoy time for recreation, games, socializing, and just plain fun. Athenaeum runs daily from the dismissal bell (even on early release days) until 6:00 pm. Flexible and affordable options are available to fit any family’s after-school needs.

*The Athenaeum (ath-uh-nay-uhm) was originally a school in Rome, founded by Emperor Hadrian in 133 A.D. for the promotion of literary and scientific studies.

The program for the CURRENT 2023-24 school year has reached capacity. Please click here to add your name to the waitlist for the CURRENT 2023-24 school year.
