Optional Programming

Early Care & Extended Day

At New City School we recognize that an 8:30 am-3:30 pm day can be inconvenient for many families. Therefore, care is provided starting at 7:00 am and continues after school until 6:00pm. 

During Early Care (7:00am until 8:30am), students enjoy recess time before the start of the school day. This gives families the flexibility needed for varied drop-off times in the morning. There is no charge for this coverage.

Our regular Extended Day program includes snack, recess, study hall, and planned activities in a low-key, but structured environment. In addition, Talents Classes are offered during this time. This after-school time gives our students the opportunity to try new things, express their creativity, work for an important cause and to exercise all of their multiple intelligences. Whether you need full-time after-care or just a day here or there, New City School Extended Day can meet your family's needs!

  • Early Care (7:00 - 8:30AM): no charge
  • Extended Day Everyday Package (3:30-5:00pm): $315/month
  • Extended Day Everyday Package (3:30-6:00pm): $335/month

Extended Day is also available on an as-needed basis: the drop-in rate for the 2024-2025 school year is $4.00 for every 15 minutes spent in Extended Day after 3:45pm* ($16/hour).
*There is a 15-minute grace period between 3:30-3:45pm.

Talents Classes 

Talents Classes and clubs provide the opportunity for our students to explore new activities and skills while interacting with like-minded students from different grade levels outside of the regular school day. Pricing varies by class. Learn more about our Talents Classes and Clubs!

Sports 

New City School offers seasonal intramural after-school soccer, basketball, and t-ball/softball with a weekly practice and games on the weekend. The fee for most sports programs is $85, which includes uniform rental, trophy, league fee, team equipment, and photo. Learn more about sports at New City!

No School At School & Break Camps

Our break camps and No School At School (NSAS) days provide care for current students when school is closed for parent/teacher conferences, teacher in-service days, and during Winter and Spring Breaks. For the 2024-2025 school year, NSAS and break camps cost $80/day, with discounts available for multi-day packages.

New City School also offers a wide variety of summer camps for current students as well as other children in the community. To learn more, please visit our Summer Camp page.

*Families who participate in our Variable Tuition program receive equivalent support for Extended Day, Summer Camp, and some Talents Classes and Sports.
