Middle School Aftercare

Here at Sandy Spring Friends School, we’re committed to fostering a sense of belonging for all students, and that doesn’t end with the conclusion of the school day. If your Middle School child(ren) needs aftercare, we’ve got you covered, with an optional, on-campus service that provides a reliable, convenient space for students to complete homework, unwind outdoors, and enjoy each other’s company.
