After School

NEW PROGRAM OFFERINGS

JK - Kindergarten
Our Kinder Quest program keeps our Junior Kindergarten and Kindergarten students engaged in the exploratory play they experience during the school day, and provides for a great transition from school to home each day. Our young friends are encouraged to explore, use their imagination and positively interact with their peers and after school counselors. This program is located in an area of the School designed for our smallest Cougars, where creative and meaningful play are nurtured. Our goal is to keep our students entertained and engaged while encouraging success, whether it be through drama on a miniature stage, puppets in a theater, building with blocks and Legos, reading in the literature corner or developing artistic skills in the art center.

1st - 4th Grade
The “original” Quest is home to Collegiate’s after school students in Grades 1-4. Housed in the lower level of Luck Hall, this wonderful space was developed just for Cougar Quest by Cougar Quest. A magical space full of art work and comfy couches, Cougar Quest students can be found cooking, acting on the stage, playing dress up or doing homework under the supervision of our qualified teachers. "Fun Fridays" are special at Cougar Quest as students participate in carefully planned actvities designed to celebrate the end of the week. Interactive play and joyful laughter are a guarantee on Fridays and everyday at Cougar Quest.

5th Grade - 8th Grade
Collegiate recognizes that just because a student crosses the bridge to Middle School, the need for after-school supervision while on campus does not go away. Middle School Quest encourages students to attend study hall after school and get a jumpstart on the evening’s work under the supervision of Collegiate teachers. After an hour-long study hall, students visit the activity room to relax, read books, play games or exercise on the Middle School basketball or gaga courts. "Fun Fridays" are not just for Lower School students as our older Cougars can take advantage of planned excursions and Activity Quest activities developed just for Middle School students. Several after-school options are available, including study hall only, care until 6 p.m. or a six-week option for the siblings of students participating in sports. Drop-in care is only one phone call away when needs arise or during the time when the Cub Sports programs break at the end of a season. Pickup is conveniently located on the Loop Road behind the Reeves Center.

Junior Kindergarten - 8th Grade
Open to all students both in the Lower and Middle Schools, Activity Quest continues the day’s learning in an after-school setting. Several programs are offered weekly and staffed by teachers and specialists from the greater Richmond region. The activities are diverse and meet any interest. Whether it’s yoga, swimming, computer programming, dance or sports, Activity Quest has something for everyone. Knowing parents are busy, a full year's worth of activities is available for planning purposes. Kinder, Cougar and Middle School Quest students receive a discount when participating in Activity Quest.
