The Later Alligator Program (LAP) offers a diverse range of enjoyable activities, available Monday through Thursday from school dismissal until 5:30 p.m. Under the supervision of qualified teachers and coaches, boys have the opportunity to pursue different interests, stay physically active, and work on school assignments.
LAP has three sessions: Fall, Winter, and Spring. Activity offerings change seasonally. Information on the upcoming season is distributed to parents via e-mail as well as posted on this web page several months in advance. Activities meet once a week for the fall, winter, or spring season, allowing for a custom mixture of activities for a boy’s interests throughout the school year. Most after-school activities require additional tuition, and students who are currently receiving financial aid may seek funds towards them.
Kindergator Session (2:00 - 3:00 p.m.) LAP begins at 2:00 p.m. for kindergarten boys. Kindergator sessions take place in kindergarten classrooms and finish at 3:00 p.m. Kindergarten boys participating in the next LAP session will be taken to Break Time.
