St. James Episcopal School offers an optional an exceptional BEFORE and AFTER School Enrichment Program for students. It begins at 7:20 a.m. and ends at 5:30 p.m. Our program gives your children a strong social emotional education (SEL) hidden within fresh and fun activities that will strengthen their entire academic experience. By utilizing SEL objectives, students will benefit by obtaining skills in self-awareness, self-management, problem solving, higher thinking, social awareness and relationships.
After school, the students are grouped by ages to ensure developmentally appropriate care and curriculum.
WRAP is billed separately on a monthly basis. Additional enrichment classes are also available outside the WRAP program. (Tippi Toes Dance and Yogiños: Yoga for Children)
Parents are under no obligation to use WRAP. However, for student supervision and safety, it is School policy to require all students who are on campus 15 minutes before or 10 minutes after school to be placed in the WRAP program.
