About the Program

The after school Extended Day Program is available for all students from dismissal until 5:30 p.m. on regular school days and most early dismissal days throughout the school year. This service is guaranteed with a contract when completed by the annual August deadline. Drop-ins are permitted if space allows. Students are divided by age to allow for a developmentally appropriate program.

A Harford Day School education is a gift meant to enrich the mind, body, and spirit of every student; its benefits realized not only while in elementary and middle school, but into high school, college, and life.
