B.A.S.E. Course Catalog (Fall 2023)
B.A.S.E. (Brunswick After-School Experience) is Brunswick's in-house after-school program, which consists of Encore enrichment activities as well as an Extended-Day group. In addition to offering enriching after-school clubs, the primary goal of B.A.S.E. is to provide safe childcare for children of working parents or families in need of care beyond the traditional school day.
- Our Encore activities begin the week of September 18 and end the week of December 11. Clubs meet once/week (Monday-Thursday) and are structured enrichment activities run by Brunswick teachers or outside experts, offered at grade levels PK/K, 1/2, and 3/4. Registration for all B.A.S.E. programs takes place in the fall, winter, and spring terms so families have the chance to adjust their schedule each season. Any outside instructors go through required background checks.
-
The Encore schedule for each grade, Monday-Thursday, is as follows:
- PK/K: 3:00-3:45 p.m.
- 1/2: 3:35-4:20 p.m.
- 3/4: 3:45-4:30 p.m.
- Each Encore activity has a minimum number of sign-ups required to run. Most Encore activities have an enrollment capacity, and we will do our best to ensure that all students get to participate in an activity that they are interested in at least once throughout the year. Registrations may not always be first come, first served.
- The Extended-Day program begins on the first day of school, September 5, and is offered daily as an opportunity for boys in PK-4 to enjoy our facilities and resources and spend time in an unstructured (but supervised) environment at the conclusion of the formal school day.
- Extended-Day pick-up times are 3:45 p.m. (PS only), 4:30 p.m., or 5:30 p.m. (you may pick up your son at any time before your registered pick-up time). You may add Extended Day on top of an Encore activity if you need a later pick-up. You will not be charged for Extended Day during the time your son is in an Encore activity.
- Pick-up for all B.A.S.E. activities (Encore and Extended Day) is at the Pre School building, unless otherwise noted. Please do not line up in the pick-up line early. There are many events happening on campus and the front of the building cannot be blocked to traffic. For example, if you are picking up for grades 3/4 early, you will delay and congest the dismissal for grades 1/2.
