Heathwood Afternoon ExpressAfternoon Express (AE) serves students in the Early Childhood and Lower School divisions. AE teachers provide after-school snacks, support homework, and engage students in meaningful games and activities that complement the curricular goals of the school day.

Afternoon Express (until 6:00 PM)

Afternoon Express begins at the conclusion of the academic day and is open until 6:00 PM. It provides a time for children to relax, play, and receive general support with homework.  Each day, we provide a snack for students, as well as outdoor recess and time to enjoy nature.
