Extended Day

Day Care

At Paul, enrichment for our students does not stop upon school dismissal. Whether they’re learning how to make delicious meals in the cooking club, or engaging in deep thought and competition in the chess club, our scholars have multiple opportunities to explore new interests and connect with their peers.
