Before & After School Programs
Whitby offers students from preschool through middle school diverse and inspiring before and after school options that support and expand our Montessori and International Baccalaureate programs. Families have the option to drop children off as early as 7 a.m. for before school care and to pick up as late as 5 p.m. from after school care. This provides families with flexible options that meet the needs of working parents.
During these times, enrichment classes are also offered to spark curiosity, build foundational and advanced skills, and nurture confidence in and beyond the classroom. A wide range of after-school and seasonal options are led by trusted faculty and expert partners who create experiential and hands-on programs. If you would like more information about any of these options, please contact Charles Giegrich, Director of Auxiliary Programs.
