Before & After School Programs

A Variety of Solutions

In order to serve working parents, our founder Rachel Merritt had developed a strong after school program that featured an array of campus extracurricular activities making life easier for busy families. Today, we proudly offer before & after school programs that families are in need of. As a result, priority extended services are available for our students as well as participants of our award-winning summer camp.

Overall, Merritt Academy offers a variety of before and after school programs ensuring children will be nurtured and supported all day long. Ultimately, choosing the right school will benefit your student as well as serve the needs of your family both during school day hours and beyond.
