What is Awty Plus?

Greetings and welcome to the Awty Plus program website page! Our uniquely designed programs are set up to benefit both parents and students, hoping to accommodate everyone at The Awty International School. Our goal in Awty Plus is to meet physical, creative and academic needs.

What time does Awty Plus open?

Operating Hours for Awty Plus are from dismissal of school until 6:00 P.M. We are open for fall, winter, and spring break from 7:30 A.M. until 6:00 P.M. Please note that the program is closed during Thanksgiving and the Christmas Holidays, along with Primary School Parent/Teacher Conference Days.

What distinguishes this from the activity program?

In this program, students attend study hall with other age appropriate children and concentrate on homework. This is not similar to one-on-one tutoring. Students needing more attention should seek private tutoring. This is for students who do not wish to participate in a daily activity. A five day, three day and individual day program is available.

Can I get a refund from Awty Plus?

All refunds must be requested in writing to the Director of Awty Plus. No refunds will be given after the first day of class. This pertains to all pre-paid programs. This policy is strictly enforced.

Can I pick up my child at Awty Plus?

On occasion, parents are not able to pick up their child immediately after school due to work, an emergency, or being out of town. A child who does not typically attend the after school program is considered a drop-in. Drop-ins do not participate in after school activities, but receive supervision, homework assistance, and a snack. Please call beforehand so that the Awty Plus Staff knows to expect your child. There is a $25.00 fee for each child per day. This fee applies to any duration of time spent in Awty Plus.
