After 3 is an opportunity for Lower School students to engage in unique learning and growing experiences in a fun atmosphere after school. The program offers enrichment activities, specialist classes, and private music lessons.

Registration is online and limited to a first-come, first-served basis. Enrollment in the program includes the ability to stay in After 3 from the regular school day dismissal until 5:30 p.m. Childcare will not be available beyond 5:30 p.m.

Students participating in the program will follow a schedule that includes choice-based activities/specialist classes, recess, and snack.

Private music lessons are offered in-person to kindergarten through 5th grade students. Our talented instructors aim to build fundamentals and support students on their journey with their chosen instruments. Lessons are available for piano, guitar and voice. Students registered for private music lessons will also participate in enrichment activities outside of their lesson time.

Experienced Staff

The staff includes Newman faculty members and Newman Plus staff. Counselor support is provided by carefully selected college students, graduate students, and professionals.

Availability

After 3 is available Monday through Friday throughout the school year, 3:00- 5:30 p.m.

On-the-Spot

If your family unexpectedly needs after school childcare on a certain day, On-the-Spot offers limited spots for children to attend After 3 and Later Gators daily on a first-come, first-served basis. This program will become available after Labor Day.

In the event your family needs additional after school care that you did not register for at the beginning of the school year, please log in to your Newman Plus account to view current availability and register for the appropriate On-the-Spot reservation. If a day that you need is not listed or shows as “Full,” we are unable to accommodate your request for attendance that day.
