OFFERINGS

Lower School After School (LSAS) for Grades PK–5

Lower School After School (LSAS) serves students in Gilman's Lower School and includes a snack and time for homework completion. Weather permitting, boys enjoy outdoor play, and there are numerous indoor games and activities as well.

There are two options for scheduling a boy's days and/or hours of participation in LSAS.

Boys may participate on a regular, contracted basis where they attend for the same number of days and times week-to-week.
Boys may participate on a drop-in basis after the contract deadline. Approval is contingent on space.

How to Schedule a Drop-In

Please let us know when your son should attend LSAS by emailing your child's homeroom teacher, ttesterman@gilman.edu, and afterschoolprograms@gilman.edu the same week as dropping in. Please include your child's name, drop-in dates, and estimated pick-up time.

We know that LSAS is a vital service for many Gilman families! Please note that LSAS is at a high capacity and drop-ins should be childcare need-based (not playdates).

Sibling Study Hall for Grades 2–5

Sibling Study Hall (SSH) is open to boys in Grades 2–5 who carpool with middle school-age students at Gilman, The Bryn Mawr School, or Roland Park Country School, or for boys who ride the 4 p.m. Kangaroo Coach. SSH is free of charge and runs from 3:15–4 p.m. each day.

While supervised like our other programs, SSH is unstructured and is neither a playtime nor a substitute for Lower School After School (LSAS). Therefore, students are expected to independently work on homework or participate in quiet, solo activities like reading a book or drawing.

The carpool driver for a student in SSH is expected to pick up the entire carpool group at the Lower School entrance no later than 4 p.m. After 4:10 p.m., any students remaining in SSH will be sent to LSAS and charged at the normal drop-in rate.

Sibling Study Hall does not operate on the days in which Gilman dismisses at noon for Thanksgiving, winter, and spring breaks, on the pre-appointed 2 p.m. dismissal Fridays, or in the event of an early school closing due to inclement weather.

Middle School After School (MSAS) for Grades 6–8

Middle School After School (MSAS) serves students in Gilman's Middle School and provides them with a supervised environment for quiet study, homework completion, or relaxation with friends (indoors or outdoors). Concurrently, it provides flexibility to families with a later pick-up time up until 6 p.m.

Students who are on campus after 4:15 p.m. and not involved in another supervised activity — such as academic help sessions, clubs, rehearsals, or interscholastic sports — must sign themselves into MSAS at 4:15 p.m. for the afternoon until they are picked up. Charges for MSAS begin at 4:30 p.m.

Billing, Credit, and Attendance Policies

School holidays and activities are considered in determining the annual program rates.
Books and all other materials will be billed separately.
Ultimately, lesson times are determined based on each individual student's schedule. If placed in the program, you can expect to hear directly from your child's assigned ASMP teacher in early September with specifics regarding the days and times of your child's lessons for the school year.
If more than two lessons are missed due to inclement weather or other official school closings, the student will receive a credit, or the lesson will be made up.
Please note that no credits are given due to student absence as our private teachers must be paid for their on-campus time.
If you choose to withdraw your child from the ASMP, we regret that no credit can be given for any remaining lessons.
