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.

To better support our community, SSFS offers an in-house aftercare program for students in grades 6–8. Afternoons with Friends (AWF) is a warm, engaging, and values-centered extension of the school day.

Rooted in Quaker values of community, simplicity, and respect, our aftercare program provides a calm and supportive space for Middle School students to unwind at the end of the day. Students will have time to relax, connect with friends, work on homework, engage in quiet activities, and enjoy supervised free time. Whether indoors or outside, students are cared for in a safe environment that honors the spirit of SSFS.  Aftercare fees vary on number of days per week students attend.
