• What is ACE?

  What is ACE?

  The After-School Care and Enrichment (ACE) program at The Benjamin School serves students in WOW through Grade 5, providing a safe, engaging, and supportive environment after the regular school day ends. ACE runs from dismissal until 6:00 p.m. on full school days.

  Children in the ACE program enjoy:

  • Outdoor play
  • Nutritious snacks
  • Dedicated homework time
  • Age-appropriate activities led by trained ACE counselors

  ACE is not a drop-in program—pre-registration is required, and families may register on an annual, semester (Fall, Winter, or Spring), or monthly basis. Due to staffing and safety considerations, we do not offer daily or drop-in rates.

  All students enrolled in ACE must follow the rules and policies outlined in The Benjamin School Student-Parent Handbook.
  
  Pick-Up Procedure: Dismissal takes place at the Fine Arts Building gate, located off US-1 and Carolinda Rd. Please press the intercom button, let us know who you’re picking up, along with their car line number, your relationship to the child and we’ll radio for your child. They will meet you at the gate once you’ve entered onto the campus.

  What is Enrichment?

  As part of our ACE program, Enrichment classes offer students in WOW through Grade 5 the chance to explore new interests and develop skills in a fun, structured setting. Classes are offered in four sessions each year—two in the Fall and two in the Spring.

  Students in:

  • WOW–Kindergarten are escorted directly to class at dismissal.
  • Grades 1–5 are signed in by Aftercare staff, given a snack and time to begin homework, then escorted to class.

  There is no charge for aftercare before Enrichment classes. If your child needs care after Enrichment, ACE registration is required.

  Note: Students who miss all or part of the school day due to absence may not attend Enrichment that day.

  Registration and payment are completed online, and families will be notified when registration opens.
