Merritt Academy Announces Return of the Merritt Academy After School Program (MAAP)
We understand that finding a quality after school program can be a difficult journey for busy families. MAAP is a high-quality after-school program for FCPS students in Kindergarten through 8th grade.
Our founder Rachel O. Merritt believed in making life easier for busy parents. Merritt Academy proudly announces the return of MAAP to provide a childcare solution for students at select FCPS schools with complementary bell schedules.
Merritt offers students a strong, safe after-school program with enjoyable activities. After pick-up at their FCPS campus and arrival by bus, FCPS students join Merritt afternoon extended service students in classrooms by grade. MAAP students may also, with separate registration, enroll in enriching extracurriculars, as space allows.
For the new 2024-25 school year starting on Wednesday, August 21, 2024, we will be accepting MAAP students from Marshall Road and Flint Hill FCPS Elementary campuses on a space available basis. Register for MAAP here.
